OK, 400x300 is correct for a quick preview, not for the final render.

Look at the *.ini file associated with your scene.
Does it contain any resolution setting? If that's the case, it will 
unconditionaly override the resolution you set from the resolutions drop 
list.

You only need to edit the ini file in one or another way:
1 - Change the resolution to the one you want. Change the Width and 
Height values to suit you.
2 - Comment out the resolution in the ini file.

Look foor lines like this:
Input_File_Name=scene_name.pov
Width=400
Height=300

can become:
Input_File_Name=scene_name.pov
;Width=400
;Height=300
(allow you to chose any resolution you want at render time)

or
Input_File_Name=scene_name.pov
Width=1600
Height=1200
+a0.1
(unconditionaly set the resolution to 1600 by 1200 with antialiasong ON 
with a threshold of 0.1)


The second solution will allow you to sellect any resolution you want.

You can also render the *.POV file that is refered to in the ini file.
Open the POV file and render that file, not the ini.

You may also do as Stephen said and look to see if MolPOV have any 
resolution setting and change that setting.
