re: video card driver Tuesday, December 30, 2003 at 4:51 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MrCharlie (4141 messages posted) You can try this: Download this small file to your desktop, MSD.EXE, double click on it, your screen will go blank for a second, then click OK, then click on the video tab. There will be all the available video card info. Take note of all of it and post back with the info if you want and I'll try to find you a driver, or go to DriverGuide.Com and look for them. Use 'drivers' and 'all' as user name and password to get in.
