help for laptop problem

[Guest buffalo rider]

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.

Re: 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].

Re: help for laptop problem

 

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.
