HI everyone i got a really really serious problem with my video card driver ...
the problem is that i forgot to install it ( after formatted the HD ) and i don't remember its name ( or mark ) at all ...
Does anybody know some useful software to discover it ?!?

My system:
Travelmate 220 Intel Celeron 1.13 GHz 128 MB SDRAM OS: Window XP Home Edition SP1

PS. Sorry for my bad english :blush:

Hrmmm Well you could pull the card out and look, if it is a card. If it is an ATI or Nvidia, their drivers are pretty much universal to all their cards/chips. If it is on the motherboard then look up the name of the motherboard and see what it usually ships with.

Well, since it's a TravelMate 220, you could just go here and get all the drivers you need.

I can see why you don't want to open it...I hate working inside notebooks...

already done ...
but the silly thing is that the travelmate220 's drivers doesn't work (they show ONLY 16 colours and it's really slow ) !?
YOU'RE MY LAST HOPE !!! :bye3:

My only other suggestion is to try the drivers straight from the OEM. Looks like your notebook uses the Intel 830MG chipset...so maybe this will help.

According to Intel you should install the 830 chipset drivers before the graphics drivers.
