Reply: (edit)Hi Geyti:
I downloaded a Win 3.1 driver for 600 x 800 in 256 colors that might work on your labtop, but depends on your screen specs. If interested send me an e-mail. You need to use setup.exe in windows directory to change monitor screen settings, then reboot to work. If your laptop doesn't work with new settings & your screen is scrambled, then you need to exit windows (clrt\F4) & use (in DOS) c:\windows\edit system.ini ([boot] section back to display.drv=vga.drv to work, be carefull & to make a backup of this file using c:\dosshell first. Good luck.

Reply: (edit)I have several Thinkpads. Each time I look for the model at the ibm support site. If your laptop is a Dual Screen screen you will not get above 256 colours. http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/DSHY-3P4NGJ.html?lang=en_US&page=brand&brand=IBM+ThinkPad%7CThinkPad+701%7C2630&family=IBM+ThinkPad%7CThinkPad+701&machineType=IBM+ThinkPad%7CThinkPad+701%7C2630&doctype=&subtype=All The above is the URL for the drivers. It will be a pain to copy and paste but the drivers for your machine do exist and I have found them for a TP 701C. Windows 3.xx Hope this helps. The file is about a 1MB or so. I wont email it to you. If you really get stuck then let me know. RC
