help for laptop problem

buffalo rider · Jan 23, 2008

If any of you browse to the "Windows 98 Display" folder now and then,
and have experience fixing display problems, can
you take a look at "Laptop TFT . . . garbled letters"

Thanks, BR.

This is not the name of any vanilla or regular Win98
folder thus may be peculiar to your laptop or custom
installation. So we should need more information e.g.
what type of laptop and OS.

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.

Sorry, cannot help: this folder seems to belong to your
email app which you did not name. No such folder
appears in OE.v.6.

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].

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"

and

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/driver/detail.php?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.
