help with windows 98se please!

[zuko1]

Hi everyone i'm new to the boards and would like to take this opportunity to say

hi to everyone here.

I have a problem with windows 98se running on my pc-i don't have any sound and my

display is only running on 16 colours(max) as i don't have any drivers for it.

A link to some driver downloads or if someone has any would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance and once again helloto all.

Well, maybe if you could post details of your system, we could give you some correct link.

If you do not know EXACT make/model of your motherboard or notebook, do the following:

Reboot the computer, while the initial screen comes up, hit the [PAUSE] key and jolt down the numbers and letters you can see in top and bottom left corners.

It may be necessary to enter the BIOS setup and disable a setting like "Show graphical screen at boot" or something like it.

Your screen should look something like this:

The info needed (in the example above) is:

the "K7VX4-2AA7" top left

and the 04/17/2003-KT400-8235-6A6LYS29C-00 bottom left

Add whatever further information seems useful, like "Phoenix-Award BIOS" and "Powered by SOYO"

You might download System Information as well. This will give you all the info you need about your computer.

And it's free, small and runs without having to be installed...

edit: sorry, I was too long to post. But that can still be useful
