Since I love the F.E.A.R. games i figured i'd share this here.
Extraction Point doesn't have native options for current 16:9 standards like 1920x1080 unlike the patched original and Perseus Mandate, here are some instructions shamelessly stolen from steam user spyrochaete
1. Run the game once and configure the options however you like. Exit the game.
2. Run notepad and open C:\Users\Public\Documents\TimeGate Studios\FEARXP\settings.cfg
3. Change the "ScreenWidth" and "ScreenHeight" values to match your desired resolution.
4. Run the game but do not go to the "Display" configuration menu in-game or it will reset your resolution and you'll need to edit the config file again.
edit: of course these options are for vista and up but on xp it's in shared documents and if you're still using xp by this point you probably know where that is
double edit:
Changing FOV in any of the F.E.A.R. games:
1. Follow the instructions above
2. Use http://www.rjdown.co.uk/projects/bfbc2/fovcalculator.php to calculate your vertical field of view
3. Add "FovYWidescreen" "XX.00" to the settings.cfg, put your FOV where the XX is (e.g. "FovYWidescreen" "59.00") (For extraction point use "FovY" "XX.00" instead as it doesn't natively support widescreen)
4. Save the config

An experimental tweak to make AA and soft shadows work together on nvidia cards:

(note, when I tried this on my nvidia gpu the game failed to start)
And finally some useful info from tiaxanderson:
Right click 'settings.cfg' -> 'properties' -> tick ' Read-only' -> 'OK'.
This won't stop from resetting your resolution if you happen to accidentally click the display options in game, however, if you just quit and restart the game the resolution is back to what you had manually edited them to (1920 * 1080 in my case).
