...play Call of Duty at 1600x1200 which is available when I go to the in-game options>graphics>resolution, but when I choose that resolution, it just reverts back to 1280x1024. The LCD has 1680x1050 natural resolution and didn't have 1600x1200 as a choice, so I tried to add a custom resolution of 1600x1200 but it says testing mode failed and won't add it. Why is this happening? Is my PC not good enough to run Call of Duty at 1600x1200? My PC has P4 3.2Ghz 1Gb RAM and a PNY 6800GT 256MB GPU. Is editting the config file of the game the only way to do it?

You can't play a 1600x1200 game on a 1680x1050 monitor.

1050 is lower than 1200 so you can't use 1600x1200, you could add 1400x1050 in custom resolutions though, or maybe theres a fov/widescreen fix for that game? don't have it so I can't check.
