Unknown Graphics Card

Hi Guys,

My brother (who unfortunatly lives to far away from me to visit in a day) has just reformatted and reinstalled his Win98se PC.

Only problem is that Win98se hasn't detected his graphics card, and he has no idea what it is (or any of the origional CDs or documentation).

The graphics card in question in an onboard AGP one (if my memory serves me correctly - I set the PC up for him about 5 years ago).

Does anyone know of any utilities for detecting the graphics card, or failing that, the motherboard, so I can try and dowload the drivers for him.


Thanks,

Peter.

Belarc Adviser should do the trick. It will id a whole lotta stuff he may not even know he has. Does Hardware and software.

It's free too.

Hi Bill and Nomaxim,

Thanks for your quick and helpful replies (and also the welcome to the forum !)

I'll get him to give them a try tonight.

Cheers

Peter.
