Your talking about the Slot A Athlon, right? I've heard of some issues with the Slot A Athlon with a Via KX133 chipset and the original GeForce 256, but it wasn't related to the desktop resolution.
 
This is probably a stupid question, but I'm just covering my bases: Do you have drivers installed? If so, which one?
 
You need this patch, at this link: http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/athlon-duron/amd_win2k_patch.html
This is regardless of the type of Athlon, and it's just for Win2k.
 
Could you list your specs please?
