HI I have found a disk called “CD-Rom Driver�

It has on it:

4d wave: DX, NX

Cirrus: 5446, 5465

HIS: RAGE llc, Rage Pro

Intel: 1740

Ncvidia: TNT, TNT 2, TNT VANTA

Trident: 9680, 9685, 9685TV, 9750, 9850, 9880

S3: Trio64V2, ViRGE/DX, Trio3D, Trio3D/2X, Savage3D, Savage 4

Direct X

Xing: Xing.W95

Game: Heavy Gear II Demo

Have tried a few of these and when I update driver it says the current
“standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA)� is the best one to use.

This is the message I get:
The best driver windows found is already installed for this device. Click
back to install a different driver or click next to continue using this
driver.

Location of driver:

C:\WINDOWS\INF\MSDISP.INF

Even tried windows updates as location of new driver and it still doesn’t
want to install new driver?????????????????????????

Hope you can help this is very frustrating??????????????????????????????
You cant make out much of any graphics at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

The driver you need to update is the driver for your video display adapter.
If you can't find the CD that was supplied with your adapter then you need
to download the latest drivers from the www site of the video display
adapter manufacturer.

The make and model of the video display adapter is usually displayed
on-screen immediately after power-on, before the memory test starts.
Otherwise, you can find it by looking at the card.

The message about the best one being installed only refers to the drivers
that Windows knows about. If you haven't downloaded the proper driver from
the manufacturer's www site then Windows doesn't know that a better one is
available.
