I got a used IBM Thinkpad running Win2000 ProNT and immediately installed my Iomega Zip100 external drive. After I did that, the computer crashed, I lost my mouse and keyboard, my computer reverted from 256 colors to 16, and I had to re-install the OS. After I re-installed, I tried to install the Zip drive again, to make sure it was the problem. It was. So I re-installed Win2000 ProNT again, but I can't get my computer to run in 256 or High Color. I clicked on the Advanced tab of the Settings on the Display Profiles, but there is no color management tab. I don't know how to fix the problem and recover my 256 and high color profiles.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

You probably need to reinstall the Graphics drivers.

If you have a graphics card then it should have been shipped with a CD with the drivers.

If the video is onboard the motherboard, then check the Motherboard CD for the drivers.

I don't have any disks aside from the Win2000 ProNT disk.Can I find the drivers online anywhere?

Should have noticed that it is a laptop.
Follow this to get the drivers
