I have an old Win95 laptop, with dodgee graphics card, has no support for 16bit or higher color depths, only 256 Colors. Where as the current graphics driver on my Desktop PC supports 16bit or higher. Anyway, could i transfer the drivers from my PC to floppy disk, and load them onto the laptop? Or will this effect the laptop in anyway?
If you mean copy the driver files as a backup, then that is fine.
If you mean download drivers for the laptop, and copy them across & install them, that is fine.
If you mean use the Desktop drivers on the laptop, then that will not work (and will probably cause problems). You need to get proper drivers for the specific device. (to get them try the laptop manufucturers web site, or www.drivershq.com or www.driverguide.com )
nb: even with the most up to date drivers, your laptop may not be capable of using more than 256 colours.
Its a really ancient laptop i found in the cuboard, probably 10 year old or more, has files in the Recycle bin since 1996:lol:
I dont even know what graphics card its using, but its horrible to view in 256 Color mode:(
P.S SI, do you know anybody afte an Xbox console? I seen laptops on Ebay, 750Mhz Pentium III etc for round £100 squid:)
ah well, you might be able to find drivers that support more colours, but I doubt it! :(
and no, I dont know anyone who wants an XBox I'm afraid!
Do they not support older graphics drivers? DAMN
I thought i could copy and past them from ym Desktop PC:p
