video card driver for Compaq Presario 1277 notebook?

[Linh]

my friend recently reformatted his notebook. we can't find the recovery disk or whatever it comes with. i've tried the compaq website and tech support, but they simply list Trident as the video card. does anyone know the exact model number of the Trident card so i can install the video card driver?

thanx

Hmm, I know there is a program out there that detects and updates your video card automatically:

Should be useful

I would allow this &amp; update the driver from within device manager!

it should be the exact video adapter i posted, when you download it from the link i gave, it doesnt give a setup program?, thats ok that it install standard vga at first, just update it, point it to the new drivers...

i pointed to the new, extracted driver files. the problem is that there are like 10 *.inf files. i've tried installing all the different *.inf files, and each one gives an error message upon rebooting.

actually, can someone email me the driver? it's a compaq presario notebook 1277, running WinME

thanx
