I suspect 32 colours wouldn't be enough - there's a vast difference between 16 colours & 16 bit colour.

You can help yourself: download Everest to ID your hardware and then do a search for the correct driver - or you could search for your IBM make & model, if the display adapter is integrated

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Go to the IBM web site and search for your IBM model number. You should find all the drivers for your box.

I guess I should have posted here instead of your new thread since it's now gone. If you didn't get it, here's the gist: These drivers should work:

And here's some old versions of winrar:

that should be free.
