Sounds like your S3 card doesn`t have enough memory on it for higher res (if its built in then you can set memory via BIOS Setup screen before Windows loads).

Isnt this just as simple as a driver issue?
Try this page:
http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/s3pro.html
On this page is a good detection utility........
http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/s3iddownload.htmlm
........And also links to Win9x/ME drivers (for 370 and 377 chips).
I'd suggest detecting the graphics chip and going from there. Unless you know it already then just go get some new drivers
A good source for drivers (if the ones above arent right) is here:
http://list.driverguide.com/list/company906/page2/
If you downlaod drivers from here, use the login/pword: drivers/all when prompted.
