Look on the right for display / video adapter

Look at the manufacturer’s site for the suitable drivers for your Operating System

Hi soz for late reply but I got the summary.

Video Adapter: Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (PCI)
3d Accelerator: nVidia Riva TNT
Monitor: PC Brand, Inc. Super

I been trying to find drivers but no luck. Finding it difficult to navigate through some sites.

Can you help me locate the drivers?

Thanks in advance.

If you click graphics drivers, they have a Riva driver, though you may want to check with them first

It gives me the files in a zip (NVIDIA.ZIP). but how do I install this?
I tried to follow the readme file but I dont have the NVidia disc / floppy.
Its still stuck in 16 color...

Download and install Extract Now from my signature, tick add to context shortcut

Right click the zip file, click extract to named folder

If you open the named folder, one of the files should be set up, double click it

[icedragonz]

That sounds easy enough but which one from these is the setup file...
Nvarch16.dll
nvarch32.dll
nvcore.vxd
NvCpl.dll
NVCPL.HLP
nvdd32.dll
nvdisp.drv
nvmini.vxd
nvmini2.vxd
nvOpenGL.dll
NvQTwk.dll
Reademe.txt
Vgartd.vxd

Those are the files inside NVIDIA.zip i cant locate any .exe which i presume is the setup file so I ask once again. How do I install these files please?
