SYMPTOMS
========

After you apply Service Pack 4 (SP4) to an IBM ThinkPad 755CE/CSE/CD/CX/CV/CDV,
750C/755C, 370C, or 345C, you cannot go to higher resolutions than VGA with 16
colors.

RESOLUTION
==========

After applying SP4, reinstall the IBM driver downloaded from IBM again. The
driver can be downloaded from IBM (www.ibm.com). It is a self extracting file
named Vf75xwnt.exe.

The old version of the driver downloaded from IBM (dated 10/7/95) needs to be set
up again after SP4 is applied.

MORE INFORMATION
================

IBM ThinkPad 755CE/CSE/CD/CX/CV/CDV, 750C/755C, 370C, and 345C use the Western
Digital video chip set. For resolutions higher than 640x480x16, the driver from
IBM is needed. The driver name is Wdvga.sys. If SP4 is applied to one of these
systems that have the SVGA driver loaded, it replaces the Wdvga.sys, which
brings back the system to standard VGA 16 colors.
