[SOLVED] ibm thinkpad R51 VIDEO CONTROLLER

foodboy11 · 05-10-2008, 06:10 AM

Hello,

I have a IBM ThinkPad R51 2883-8QU. When i look at my drivers there is a yellow question mark next to Video Controller and Video Controller VGA Compatible.

Video Controller say the drivers are not installed.
Video Controller VGA Compatible say it is not configured correctly Please Help

Hi,

Have you gone to the lenovo website and downloaded the video drivers and installed them? If not, check out the lenovo website.

here is the link to the drivers page specific for your model. you should find the video controller driver here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...hEntry=28838QU

or

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...&validate=true

download and install the chipset driver and the video driver (in this order).

try this http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...hEntry=28838QU
EDIT:
it's strange, it is the same site... just try it again.

try this one
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...&validate=true

which looks to be the same page as the second link provided by Trigger. Or go to first one, and click the lenovo link at the bottom of the page where it says thinkpad stuff is on lenovo site. Select your model and when you find the download section and video drivers, that is the link.
