Laptop display

I formatted my laptop and reinstalled windows 98, it is a pretty old time laptop but none of the default display drivers do much good, and they produce black bands across the screen when i load up word etc. Is there anyway to find out the necessary driver, or a decent default one that should work?

thanks

If you let us know the make and model of laptop I am sure we can track down a suitable driver. :)

It is a time laptop, i can't see a model type on it, there are a lot of random numbers on the base but i'm not sure if any of them refer to the model

Lets have them then - first rule of driver hunting, you can never have too much information!

Here are the time video drivers

It is quite likely to be the Neomagic driver based on what you have said so far.

it appears to say Model No: 2000, FCC ID:EUN2000

I know i'm idiot for not noticing that before.

Also which Driver do you mean?

Thanks

Okay i found the bit on the time website where it tells you whats inside the computer. But my code is 160NE11GB2B and i can't find that

Neither can I....

However if you can tell us what the specification is of your machine - processor, screen size, hard drive size, we can have a pretty good stab at narrowing it down some....

AMD-K6-III-500mhz, 124 RAM, 11 gig hard drive screen about 12 inches(that's a guess

Woohooo found it

Was originally made by fic and rebadged.

You want the link to vga driver - bottom right, or from the time computer drivers, the trident 8400 link.


At time support click on whats inside your pc, then nb series, then the FIC NB2 link. It looks to be the same, except you have the slightly better spec.

Amazing, thanks very much- it's working perfectly now.

Cheers:)

My Pleasure :)

That's 'our' girl Noo for you ! ;) :kiss: ... she's physic I'm sure ! ....

Ive also picked one of these laptops up with the same model number ive tried the above links for drivers to no avail can any one help ?

I was lucky enough to score one of these beasts a couple of days ago - they must have been pretty bad-*** when they were released.

Anyway, it came with a driver disk (covering Win 9x, NT and 2000), and the zipped up drivers only come to 13.5Mb so if anyone wants me to email it to them, just send me your email address.

Cheers
