Re: 760CD: Cannot install Win95 video driver to get high-colour



Hi Eren

I saw your message yesterday and have been thinking about your problem.

I have a 760CD running Win95 (pre-OSR2) (previously Win3.11) but have
never experienced the problem you outline.  I have always been able to
get 800x600x64k - even with earlier versions of the BIOS (currently I
have version 1.24).

I currently have installed IBM's Video Features v 1.22 (07/02/97) and
Enhanced Video Features v 1.10 (08/02/96) which contain the latest
drivers so far as I know.  This gives me the choice in Control
Panel/Display/Settings of 3 display adaptors - IBM ThinkPad
(Cyber9320)VL and IBM ThinkPad (Cyber9385/82)VL as well as Trident Super
VGA.  I use the Cyber9385/82 drivers.  I think I tried the 9320 setting
but it seemed to make no difference.

Do you have the ThinkPad Features program?  If so, what alternatives
does it give you for the display?  In my case I have it set to
800x600x64k.  If not, you need the Utility Features diskettes.

Have you checked the set up in DOS using ps2?  I don't think there is
anything there that would cause your problem but you never know!

The latest software updates for the ThinkPads are on
http://www.us.pc.ibm.com/support/tps/dsktw95a.html
but it sounds as though you have found them.

I can't help with upgrading without the floppy drive as all my upgrades
have been using the floppy drive.  I don't think I would try it any
other way!
