Graphics Driver Problem

Hi,

I got an old P3 450 PC with win98 SE. Everything worked fine, graphics- high res and 16-24 bit color scale, audio, network etc.
I formatted its HD and now I can't find a graphics driver.
The network card works but the onboard graphics + audio doesn't. The graphics is high priority.
The motherboard is Inte's 440 family - at least that what intel's chipsetID utilty showed me. Still I can't find the driver at intel.com.

Any ideas ?

log on to intel.com go find the drivers for chipset and download the drivers for the entire chip and that will fix the problem with the audio as well as the video.

go to intel website and there you would be able to find the respective driver for your motherboard. do this is you lost the CD included in the mothorboard packaging if you still have it use it

OK,

I found the board model : SR440BX

I found the drivers on Intel.com : http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/filter_results.asp?strOSs=18&strTypes=BIO%2CDRV&ProductID=209&OSFullName=Windows*+98+SE&submit=Go%21

But after I install the graphics driver the system crashes with this error:

Hmm, I said to go to driverguide.com and get the driver??????
stevenlewis,

I know you said so but I've looked there several times bedore I posted my message.
As you probobly know Driversguide has more than one version for each device and I geuss I didn't search good enough.

I disagree with this one :-(
stevenlewis, thank you for posting. I might not otherwise have realized my mistake. My intention here was to accept YOUR answer; see my comments at http:Q_21086983.html#11797115 I have now corrected the error.

I apologize for the confusion, all.

Thank you RomMod :-)
Directing someone to driversguide.com is not enough since this website contains so many different  versions for each drivers. In this case I posted my question after I looked and downloaded drivers from driversguide.com and the files gave me a hard time.
You might as well directed me to google (which by the way directed me to the specific page in driversguide.com with the correct driver)
Therefore I'm reclaiming the refund.
Whatever dude. I'm not worried about the points (see my profile), but I will remember.
I gave you specific instructions on how to find out exactly which vid adapter you had, and then where to go to get the drivers. No where in your question did you mention that you had tried driverguide.com, and in fact had stated you had formated the drive, and couldn't get the drivers. The only mention you made of driverguide.com was when you posted the solution in pursuit of the refund. Looking at this question objectively (which is how the Mod's do) what would you think?

Rom, if the dude needs the 100 points give them back to him
