I have just reloaded WinMe onto my IBM ThinkPad 770 and I cannot get the display into anything but 640X480 16 colour mode. I have downloaded all the updates from IBM that I can find but Windows keeps telling me it has found the best driver. I have been running Me on this notepad for about six months without a hitch but I cannot remember having this display problem when I first loaded it. Could somebody please enlighten me?

If you have the latest driver downloaded. Place the drivers in an easy to find location. Then go to device manager and remove the video card from the list, reboot and when it looks for the new driver point to the directory you saved it in. You can also go to the Device Manager and click on the video cards properties and then click on the "Drivers" tab. You should be able to manually put it in there. -me-

Agree with the above. Another method: Right click on My Computer, go to properties, device manager, expand the + beside display adapters (which means graphics cards), click on the driver listed, go to properties (bottom left), find the driver tab, click update driver, select specify the location of the driver, click on display a list of drivers in a specific location, click next, click have disk, and point Windows to the new drivers for your card and let it update. Reboot and see how it is. If you are still in trouble, download the latest driver from your card manufacturer and repeat the update. Also download the latest VIA 4 in 1 chipset drivers from here http://www.viatech.com/jsp/en/dr/driver.jsp or, if you have an Intel chipset, download an updated ATA storage driver from http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/driver.htm To find out which you have, go back to device manager and expand the + beside "system devices", scroll down and if there is a whole load of VIA stuff at the bottom then that's what you have.
