Go to your control panel and select Display, if you goto the Settings tab ( top right) and then drag the slider to different variables, try 800X600 to start with and drag the sliders to desired position.

Go to Display from Control Panel, then Settings-Advanced-Monitor.
You now have the choice of letting Windows select a monitor driver, or you can opt to select your 14' monitor from a list.

Let Windows try to detect and find the driver for your 14' monitor. If it cant find one, and you dont have it on floppy, then try selecting a Standard SVGA monitor from the list.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers
