Failure to find correct display driver and sound card
 

Need Help
I had a complete failure of my Windows 98 program so needed to reload
Windows. I was not smart enough to save information on my video drivers
(adapter and laptop display monitor) or my sound card drivers. I wiped the
hard disk then reloaded Windows expecting that it would find suitable
drivers during installation. Bad idea! Windows 98 could not identify my
display, my display driver or my sound card. As a result, I only have 640 by
480 resolution and no sound. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Failure to find correct display driver and sound card
 

You must try to locate and download the correct drivers from the web site of the
laptop manufacturer. Laptops often have proprietary drivers that must be loaded for
the hardware to work correctly.
