Presario 1274 Video driver by Cindy Schmidt
My daughter's laptop video is messed up. I can't find the driver on the hard drive, and when I access the driver from the compaq support I get a file error when I run setup. Does anyone have a location for a good copy of the drivers? I believe that it's NeoMagic. Al Schmidt
