I'm sure I haven't seen every 19" monitor, but typically they don't support 1600x1200. Usually that resolution begins with 20" monitors.
I know the nVidia card is capable of it, because I use a 7200 GS to get 1600x1200 on a 20" monitor at work. But have you gotten that resolution from that 19" monitor before? Is that what you mean by "same screen"?
Just a guess, but you may be asking for something it doesn't have, so it goes to a default instead.
