Ubuntu linux resolution problem, can you help?

I just downloaded and burned the .iso image Ubuntu 6.0.6 also know as Daper drake and booted it off the live cd but it views very large, probably 800×600 or something. I can’t even install Ubuntu on my hard drive because I can’t even see the buttons to continue because of the resolution. How would I go about fixing this problem? Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I tried going into System>Preferences>Resoultions and it only gave me the option 640×480. I have 512mb or memory.

Can you help with an Ubuntu Live CD monitor resolution problem?

My Windows has failed me for the moment, and so I’m working off of a Ubuntu Linux Live CD. It’s great and all, but for some reason I can’t get the system to run at any resolution higher than 800×600 at 61Hz (mine is a standard monitor designed for 1280×1024). Any ideas why? Better still, any ideas of how I can fix it?
