OK so i know that WOW is supposed to have native resolutions (for widescreen and what not) but i do not have the option.

I have a 19inch LG monitor (wide screen of course) and a 7600gt. Currently i am running at 1440x900 and that is what i want to run wow in.

All i can select from in wow is 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x960, and 1600x1200. That is all i can choose from. WTF?

Ive updated my video card drivers to the latest and my monitor does not have any new drivers

Please help?

I'm not sure why its doing that. Make sure the game isn't running in a window.

Also disable any mods... probably won't do anything but its worth a try.

Well he says ...
Currently i am running at 1440x900 and that is what i want to run wow in.
... so I guess that means he is running his desktop in 1440x900 and he wants the game to do the same.

well people on the WOW forums, told me that if i have a dual monitor setup (which i do) and the main monitor is not set as 1 (my monitor was set to primary, but still labeled 2, and my TV was 1) WOW will not recognized correctly, so I kind of just went into the nvidia control panel and ran the multiple display wizard and it switched my TV to 2 and my monitor to 1

And then it worked...LOL
