any help would be greatly apreciated.

If you came with pre-loaded software you should have a backup CD for reinstalling device drivers and utilities etc.
Maybe you could find help there?
Also, have you tried Windows Update to see if there is one available there?

ya, I did have a back-up disc, but i cant find it, and this colour skeme really sucks.
Is there any other way? or am i doomed to bad colour

You could download Everest from here http://www.lavalys.com/products.php?lang=en its free. It will probably give more info on the video adapter so we can help find the right drivers.
