I had to reinstall Windows 2000 on my Vaio PCG-SR1k
(a bit old, but very small + light)
But now I can't re-install the correct video driver...
Recovery disk 1/1 was scratched
In the end, I used generic Win2k disk instead
Now I can't get full screen resolution,
just 800*600 + horribly pixelated (legacy VGA driver I think)
Even though the _second_ recovery disk (2/2) contains the files
\drivers\video\neo20xx.(dll,sys,inf)
- which you would think should work -
I can't get it to install + work
It seems whichever display adapter type I install these files "as"
(??does this make any difference??)
the Device Manager always reports "error 10 : driver cannot start"
Various websites tell me the adapter is a
"NeoMagic MagicGraph256AV+".
or "MagicMedia 256AV+"
Drivers.com gives several alternative drivers, but they all seem to fail in the same way.
I suppose I'm installing it wrong somehow...
Does anyone know how to get this to work??
Many Thanks!
