Actually, if you're connecting an external monitor to a laptop, the problem might be that certain resolutions are blocked. The fix is pretty complicated, but possible. See more at: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/custom-resolutions-on-intel-graphics/

It's probably your video card. You'll probably have to get an upgrade if you want to set your resolution as 1600x900.

Also: 1600x900 isn't required, it's just the best for your monitor.
go to your control panel, open display and try it there.
