Re: [PCTECH] Drivers

[Mike Wills <koldark@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm... so you have a built-in video. I would first check out the
manufacturer of your motherboard. If you don't know what it is... try
doing a google search for any sets of numbers printed on the board.
You should at least locate a FCC ID. Then with that you should be able
to find the model and manufacturer of the board. From there you should
hopefully find the drivers.

I used to rebuild computers at a local shop here. There was only once
I couldn't find a driver for a component.
