need help fixing my laptop... by TheMusicPirate on 12-17-2005 at 12:12 AM

i formated it,and reinstalled windows 98, because that's all it can support, and i also installed windoes 98SE, and onething that i was unable to re-configure is the display settings and colors.

how would i fix it?

for display it says standard display apapter (VGA)

see the thing is i bought the laptop used, and it didn't come with and cd's or discs.

but i am able to connect a external harddrive to it so if i have to download some files i can tranfer it then install it.


how would i know what type of driver i would need?

thanks for all the help, it is very appriciated.

EDIT: i found the driver needed, at this site http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=60581
