IN1920 Monitor Resolution Problem
I have a 4400 Dimension that is running XP.
I just bought the IN1920 Monitor and it has an optimal resolution at 1366 x 768.
The IN1920 Monitor is not a standard monitor. I downloaded the drive that came with the monitor, but when I go Desktop > Properties > Settings I have only 2 options of 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768.
Can you tell me where to get the drive to give me the 1366 x 768 option?

Which video adapter do you have? The Dell pages list several options (under Video):

It's possible the manufacturer (Nvidia or ATI) has a newer video driver than 2001 or 2002, but you may still be out of luck. Widescreen monitors didn't come into common use until several years after the 4400 was made. If you're set on using that monitor, you may need a new video card. This thread is dated, but might give you an idea what to look for.

that old pc has a AGP 2/4x slot if the specs i looked up are correct ... there is are some ATI cards like the HD 3450 that have a AGP card still kicking around like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814139053
it could do the 1366x768 i believe
