He isn't in safe mode !!! else how did he manage to visit windows update ? modems, network cards etc don't work in that because as you quite correctly said earlier it doesn't load the drivers

Its pretty god damn easy to tell ... it says 'safe mode' on all four corners & you get a little message telling you that you are 'there' before you can do anything else !

What he needs to do is update his video driver ! that's what is restricting him to 16 colours, as at the moment my guess is that for video adapter he has a device 'standard vga'... to check open device manager, open the heading 'display adapters' - post what it says there please.

All the drivers for a fujitsu lifebook are here @fujitsu (pick your model) - once you've downloaaded & saved those you should be able to update your current 'default windows choice' to what actually is there but windows (whatever version it is) didn't recognise fully

Hopefully this'll fix up your usb issue too, your old hard drive had all this stuff on it - we just need to go get it again.
