    My pooter is old and needs updating, I have been able to get it running nicely (almost :p) but I need new display drivers. I dont have the cd's (scavenged pooter) and I don't want to sign up and pay for anything.

    I have a pic of what is wrong but it's all double dutch to me.

    Can someone help please?!

    Download and install Everest (which is free) and you can find out the brand for the motherboard and other installed components get the drivers from the manufacturers website. Drivers are typically free.

    Link to Everest below:

    I did a windows update and got most of it sorted so the last thing is my IDE controller.

    Intel 82371AB/EB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller

    (old I know, my computer is, as far as I know, an original windows 95 setup, i just dont have the money at the moment to buy a new one :( )

    It also doesnt say a specific display card, so these are whats under my display file.

    Xpert@Play (atir3) (4mb)
    ATI 3D-Rage Pro

    Intel are starting to remove all old chipsets as they are not being supported any more, but this one does support the Intel 440BX chipset which that chipset controller you posted.

    So install this first as MA mentioned above
    http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scr...ID=816&DwnldId=4241&strOSs=All&OSFullName=All Operating Systems&lang=eng

    It is the one for win95 win98 and is an .exe file so no unzipping needed.


    then for graphics you could try this ( the Driver listed under RAGE PRO )
    http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/98me/legacy-98me.html

    Win95 is not much supported these days and as such drivers are rare to find easily... so please double check the PC is running Win95, at bootup the windows splash screen will tell you this.
