16-color

tylergotto · 08-05-2009, 02:04 PM

Hello,
My computer is stuck on 16 color after i rebooted it. I read on this forum that some one else had the same problem as me. But i download the things he/she was told to. But the last one had an error in it. So it wouldn't download. If someone could personally walk me through the steps that would be great.
My Model is an IBM Thinkpad.

Any other details let me know. I will post them (You might have to show me the way to the numbers though.)

THANKS! :D

and welcome to the Forum

If by "reboot" you mean you reinstalled XP, then you likely need the drivers for the board ( video in particular ) . . You can find them on the Lenovo support site
