Hello,
I recently bought a reconditioned IBM Thinkpad T22 laptop. I was quite happy with it till I tried to play a DVD using WinDVD. After running up and loading a DVD i get an error saying 'Cannot create Overlay; reduce screen resolution and retry'. I have tried combinations of all resolutions and colour depths and get the same result.
I thought I would check the display settings and the diver version.
When I checked Device Manager there was NO display adapter displayed, nor is there one in MSInfo. I downloaded the driver from the IBM website and tried to install it, but got a 'Failed to complete installation' error.
I tried using the "Add Hardware Wizard" to try to detect the grahpics card, with no result.
This machine should have an S3 8MB Savage graphics card built in.
Bizarrely its working at its default resolution of 1024x768, not VGA.
Has anybody seen a problem like this before, and know a solution? Is the graphics card in this machine dead?
Thoughts?
Keith
