Can't get 1200x800 resolution on Windows XP

Good morning.

I installed VMWare Server 1.0.5 build-80187 and Windows XP Professional on top of it.

I tried to set the screen resolution to the max resolution of my laptop, 1280x800.  It doesn't appear in the list.

I spent nearly an hour reading forum posts, and I found KnowledgeBase Article 1003:

VMWare KB Article 1003

I followed the instructions exactly, adding to my registry the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vmx_svga\Device0\Resolution.0 = "1200x800"

(There are no other resolutions listed... is that normal?)

I rebooted and tried to set the resolution... no dice.

I then tried adding the lines:

svga.maxWidth = "1200"

svga.maxHeight = "800"

And rebooted again.  Still no dice...

Please help!
