Hi, new to laptops. Just picked up a t23 and just started messing with it. I don't have a CD with it and do not have a video driver installed for the super savage for XP. I tried the IBM site and it will not download from there. Are there any other places to get drivers?
Thanks,
T

Welcome to thinkpads.com!
The Windows XP video driver for the T23 should be available from here:
Video driver (SuperSavage/IXC16) for Windows 2000/XP - ThinkPad T23
Was this one the one you tried? Be sure to download the README file and follow all instructions. I did this with one of my systems a couple of months ago and it seemed to work okay.

Yes that's the one I tried to download. I searched a little more and think I found one. Am Installing at the moment, fingers crossed. My next thing is of course, wireless card, can't wait to find one and get the laptop on a home wireless network. New for me, but none the less fun to pass the winter time.

It worked, found the driver at
www.driverslab.com. Things are in good color and contrast now.

What is the version level of the driver you are using? Access Display Properties/Advanced/S3Info Plus tab.

5.2e.51.26 I don't know much about this stuff, but it seems to be working pretty good.

Or you could run
Software Installer and get the latest drivers for everything.

Yes, but for some reason I am unable to download anything from that site to my PC and my laptop is not internet ready yet.

Will this link to the driver page work?
Video driver (SuperSavage/IXC16) for Windows 2000/XP - ThinkPad T23
How about this link to the driver itself?
