Manually change screen resolution

How do you manually change screen resolutions in Windows XP? I have a 20" screen, but none of the options on the slider look good at all, because they are too stretched out. I would rather have black bars on the side than have it stretched (due to the nature of an important application I'm using). Is there a way to manually opt for that?
Thanks!

To be clear, none of the options given to me include the native resolution of the monitor, which is 1680 by 1050. According to the troubleshooter, all the drivers are up to date. I want to be able to do two things:
1) run windows under the monitor's native resolution
2) run my application under another resolution, but with the black bars on the side rather than look stretched.
