When I upgraded from W98 to 2000 I found that some of the resolutions
that I used to be able to use with Allegro didn't work anymore.

As such I doubt there is a work arround.

Another option to try is to build Allegro (from
http://alleg.sourceforge.net/ ) and see what resolutions and options
work under XP as this may save you time in trying the various options.
