    I have a compaq presario 1625 someone gave me. Everything works fine except the color I only have the options of 2 and 16 color.I don't know if something went bad or what. Do notebooks have video built into the motherboard or can I get a new card for it? My friend that gave it to me said it use to have more colors but he doesn't whats wrong with it either

    Thanks for any help

    Do you have the system restore discs that you could try to restore the driver with?

    you might be able to find one on ebay for sale or contact HP and see how much it would cost to get a replacement one.
