Sorry if my post looked like a double. I was merely trying to broaded my audience in hopes of finding help since I seemed to have hit a drought in suggestions.
Remember, I am a ROOKIE. I didn't see the full info until I ran Everest. & the list of available drivers just showed the part of the name that you didn't highlight.Quote:

That page says: Intel® 82810 Graphics Controller
4 downloads on 1 page supported for Windows* 98 SE
I am not sure which driver to download. AND I am on a slow dialup (I live in podunk) and connected at 26400 bps, it will take a while to download. I can't really justify process of elimination as I would have my phone line tied up too long. My spouse needs to use it too. Yesterday as I downloaded Everest, the phone was needed when I reached 96%. My husband doesn't "do computers" so trying to explain is that if I disconnected when he wanted me to would mean that the 45 minutes I had already spent trying to download would be wasted & I would have to start all over again & use the phone even longer fell on deaf ears!

its over 4.5MB, so at your connection speed, be prepared to tie the phone line up for 45 minutes or so.
I have to go out for a bit - as a last thought:
Ramdac Clock 230
PP pipeline 1
TMU Per Pipelines 1
Vertex Shaders unsupported
Pixel Shaders unsupported
DirectX Hardware Support DirectX v6.0
Any newer games the kiddies are gonna play are probably going to need a Direct X update.
Okay, I've downloaded win9xe67.exe.
Now what?
Also, I appreciate the info on DirectX. My version is 6. What do I need?
How do I go about making sure my system continues to use the monitor/driver/display adapter that I select instead of reverting to "unknown device" being detected & prompting the machine to install "default monitor"?
Make a Folder on the GX110 under c:\Program Files called 'Intel'.
Put that driver download in that file.
Double click on that file to operate it - if it says it will install it somewhere (and it should), make a note WHERE and then say OK.
Once done, look for that location and make sure you can find it -write it down.
Then go to device manager, click on that adapter, and driver, and then click 'update driver' and browse to the location where the file went.
I don't run 98 SE so some of my terms may be off.
re the Direct X - it is a 65 megabyte download, 18 megabytes of which will stay on the hard drive if you delete the installation portions afterward.
- I would suggest you not try that download on your telephone but use the library or your son's connections and download it to cd.
You should realize that that old comp will be limited for gaming unless you are talking REALLY simple games for REALLY young kiddies.
Best of luck - if you have further problems, start a new post in Win 98 section.
Your system will always detect an unknown device and prompt to install a default monitor, until the display adapter is installed...the monitor is not an issue..all recent (within the last 8 years) monitors are capable of displaying 32 million colors. Once you install the display adapter, that will keep it's drivers..the display adapter is what determines the colors, definition, etc. that is sent to the monitor.Quote:

PS: Our local libraries do not allow saving to disks (fear of viruses). My son's work computer would be a BIG NO NO. BIG global corporation. The grandkids ARE really young....the oldest just turned 4. The second is 3 & can't work a left click w/o a right click. The youngest is 1. This computer should do just fine until they get older. Again, many thanks.
