Need 800 X 600 resolution

I have an issue that I hope someone can help with.
I have a laptop that when I try to set the display resolution to 800 X 600 is occupies about half of the display in the center.
BIOS and windows splash screens the same.
I looked in the CMOS setup and could not find anything to change.
I have an old program that requires 800 X 600 resolution. Do I have a laptop that will not support that resolution?
Anything I can do?

Thanks in advance!

 

Hello jawdoc,

Tell us what the laptop is.

Download this free program - System information for Windows http://www.gtopala.com/ and lookup the Video card specs and post the info here.

 

It's a Dell Latitude CSx Model: PMP

The laptop is a Dell Latitude CSx Model: PMP
Old laptop running 95 2nd edition.
It is a client of mine, but I don't think the OS is the problem because the BIOS/splash screen is small as well.
Currently is supporting much higher resolution in the windows enviroment.
