    so i want to play a game (crysis) on a resolution of 1400 by 900, but that option doesn't appear, only 1400 by 1050...how can i play with a res of 1400 by 900?

    Change aspect ratio from 4:3 (standard) to 16:10 (widescreen)

    You can also create a custom resolution for the display using the nvidia control panel if you need that resolution outside the game.

    theres a scroll bar along the side of the res window in crysis, its really hard to see, otherwise it appears you only have limited resolutions.

    yeah, none of those options really helped...how do you get custom res's in the nvidia control panel? or better yet, where can i find the crysis config file so that i can manually set the resolution?

    yeah they did. Check the first reply. He means in game change the aspect ratio. It's a little slider option. Then a new list of resolutions will appear.
