I need to update Video Display Drivers so that I have the capability of 600X800 due to new software installed. I have no options other than 480X640 now and 2/16 bit color.
I have a built in video card 3DAGP UMA Intel with DVM technology. Daewoo CB663FB motherboard, Intel i810E chipset. My current graphic display driver is B1996NSL STD PCI VGA. This particular computer does not have direct access to internet, so I need to download and update manually.
What driver can I update to or where can I find this out?

Thanks,

Most drivers these days are too big to fit on a floppy, so you will either have to burn the driver onto a CD, or zip the files so that you can transfer it.

You are going to have to do some detective work first.

The information you gave does not identify the graphics chip on the motherboard.

If you have the manual for the motherboard, the information should be in it.

Otherwise, you need to look at the mother board, and identify the 3 largest ICs on the board. (aside from the CPU)
2of these will be the Intel 810 chipset,
The third will be the video processor chip.
If these are covered with fans or heatsinks, DO NOT REMOVE THE FAN OR HEATSINK!
YOU MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE MOTHERBOARD BY TRYING TO REMOVE HEATSINKS MOUNTED ON ICs!

You can also go to www.motherboards.org to help you locate the manufacture of your motherboard. Once you do that, you should be able to identify the driver(s) needed.

You will need;
the Intel drivers for the 810e chipset,
DirectX 6.1 or greater,
the display driver for the graphics processor chip on the motherboard,
the .inf file for the monitor if it is not a monitor supported by the standard windows monitor list.

If you have trouble finding the driver files after you have iidentified what you need, go to www.driverguide.com to find the specific driver you need.
