With regard to the TP 750Cs. The reason windows95 will only display a max of 16 colors is because the bios is reporting that the display panel has a max of 16 colors to windows95. You need to install a bios extension file called VESA.exe which is run at start up, which will 'tell' windows95 that 256 colors can be displayed. Download the file called vftps133.exe from www.ibm.com. Run the file, it will make up a floppy. The floppy can then be used to update your operating system. Run 'VINSTALL' on the floppy, it will open a DOS window, and prompt you to select a display type. If you do not use an external display, just select IBM8511/8512, and press enter, the program should copy the VESA.exe file, and create a file called FRATE.DAT, and put them in a newly created IBMVESA directory on your hard drive, and then update your config.sys file. After a restart, you should be able to select 256 color in the display properties. I have heard that sometimes the program will not write to the C: drive and reports an error. If this is the case, copy the contents of the floppy created by vftps133.exe onto a spare folder on your C: drive, place a startup disk in your A: drive, from the newly created spare folder on the C: drive run VINSTALL.EXE, select the display type as above, when the program prompts for a install destination, type A, for the A: drive and the program will install to the floppy drive. Next, create a directory on your C: drive and call it IBMVESA, copy the VESA.EXE, and FRATE.DAT files from the floppy into the IBMVESA directory on the C: drive. Open notepad and then CONFIG.SYS, add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=C:\IBMVESA\VESA.exe , save and exit notepad. Restart the PC, and you should now be able to change the display properties to 256 color. This information is given without warranty of any kind. If you muck something up - I dont want to know.
