help for laptop problem
Hi Don, I meant the "windows 98 Display" folder to the left ... on the
discussion Group Screen ... to the left of this note you are looking at. I posted a full description of the problem in that folder. If you have some ideas after reading the note, I would appreciate knowing what you suggest. - BR. "Don Phillipson" wrote: "buffalo rider" wrote in message ...

help for laptop problem
Perhaps the reference is to " microsoft.public.win98.display.general "
newsgroup. Here's an idea, if no-one has responded there, post the query in this group. AS an FYI, many of the individual ME/98/95 newsgroups are no longer being actively monitored by a large number of people [you can only monitor so many groups before your newsreader becomes a mess of servers and headings, most with little activity, taking up large amounts of space and time]. Choose this group for at least preliminary questions related to 9X issues/DOS. If someone wishes to place the issue in one of those separate newsgroups, they will likely inform the querier of the need to do so [though why they would is beyond my understanding]. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com _________ "Don Phillipson" wrote in message ... | "buffalo rider" wrote in message | ... | | Hi Don, I meant the "windows 98 Display" folder to the left ... on the | discussion Group Screen ... to the left of this note you are looking at. | I | posted a full description of the problem in that folder.

From your thread "Subject: Laptop TFT ... garbled letters" in the
microsoft.public.win98.display.general news group, you include the following snipped "Excerpts from the Owner's Manual" ... the VGA driver for Windows 95, .. ... select "NeoMagic MagicGraph 128ZV" to change the driver. and My current Video Settings (from Display - Settings - Advanced) are the following: o From Display adapter tab, installed is: NeoMagic MagicGraph 128ZV o From the Monitor tab, installed is: Laptop Display Panel (1024 x 768) So it would appear that you need a later version (than 95) of the NeoMagic MagicGraph 128ZV driver for Win98 and later. Try http://members.driverguide.com/drive...driverid=71540 or http://www.video-drivers.com/companies/717.htm You may have to do a bit of filtering and/or trial & error, on the second site for the correct version but there appears to be a comprehensive list.

Thanks Mart,
I will look at both of what you recommend. I have looked through Driver Guide pretty thoroughly, but will look anyway. I will also try the other site you mentioned. - BR - "Mart" wrote: From your thread "Subject: Laptop TFT ... garbled letters" in the microsoft.public.win98.display.general news group, you include the following snipped "Excerpts from the Owner's Manual" ... the VGA driver for Windows 95, .. ... select "NeoMagic MagicGraph 128ZV" to change the driver. and My current Video Settings (from Display - Settings - Advanced) are the following: o From Display adapter tab, installed is: NeoMagic MagicGraph 128ZV o From the Monitor tab, installed is: Laptop Display Panel (1024 x 768) So it would appear that you need a later version (than 95) of the NeoMagic MagicGraph 128ZV driver for Win98 and later.
