NHL 2001 won't run in 1280x1024

NHL 2001 won't run in 1280x1024 (the menu won't display it, only up to 1024x768) when I'm using my ATI HDTV adaptor. NHL 2004 runs fine at this resolution using the adaptor, as does NHL 2001 without the adaptor on my normal monitor.

The only file that has the resolution in a text file search is just appears to only be a file that relates to the 3D setup file. And even if I select 1280x1024 in this, it still doesn't show up the game (when using the HDTV adaptor)
 
NHL 2004 looks incredibly good on HDTV (Big AND Hi-Res, perfect for a sports game to be played by multiple people on the same monitor) in 1280x1024, though I'd like to play 2001 as well. If you have any ideas, even if they're a strectch, please post them.

I'm using and can so far recommend one of these, they work well. Cheaper than a $100 DVI cable. Requires an ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON 8500 or RADEON 9500/9600/9700/9800 series card with DVI out. More info in the manual.
 
Fear the screen image burn, though. Certain types of TVs won't cope well with some games burning persistant text or HUD images into the screen!
