But try to avoid setting to 16-bit display, or you might end up in the same situation again.
What's the model of you Toshiba, and what kind of video driver do you have?
mic8000 your video driver is here
other drivers available
As mib says, get into safe mode and turn the colour back down to 256 - then go to normal mode and install the video driver again.
i am in safe mode and i am not able to change the 16 bit display to 256 because when i click to change it the only selection is 16 bit...where do i check to find what video driver i have?
do you want to know the model number?
it is not 16 bit its 16 colour.... nothing more... 16 bit means 65,536 colours....
I linked you to the video driver....?
