I have a server remotely hosted without a monitor attached. It is running Windows Server 2003 x64, and I am remotely connecting to it via VNC. The biggest I can make the resolution is 640×480, are there any virtual device drivers out there that can increase the resolution?
I can't use remote desktop as I need to share the session with several other comptuers. This machine is acting as a monitor for several sites, and is watched by many people.
Ideally, I'd like to be 1920×1200.

As VNC simply follows the console's screen, all you need to do is change the screen resolution to the size that you want. This might disconnect your VNC session when you press the "Apply" button, but you'll have 15 seconds to connect back and click "Keep" so that it sticks. I've had to deal with this before, and this is the quickest method of fixing the issue - get in, change the resolution, if you get dropped connect back, keep the settings. Newer versions of VNC will automatically adjust the resolution for you, eliminating the annoying drop.
