Hello all..

I'm a newbee at this stuff, so please forgive my ignorance!

I just reinstalled XP onto a IBM PC and everything went well....except for
now when it starts it searches for video drivers that it cannot find.

I've searched the XP CD, the hard drive to no luck. My question is, this computer has no video card, the monitor is plugged into the motherboard.
On board video I guess? The computer is not a name brand, it was built by a
shop. (which is no longer around) so the question is, is there a way to find out what kind of video drivers I need so we can view past the 640 low color
availability? Are there standard IBM SVGA or VGA drivers that I can download??

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

Not really - for one thing, IBM's made an awful lot of different computers over the years.

If it's integrated (onboard) video, identifying the motherboard might tell you where to go to download - to that end, the Everest Free Edition application can tell you all sorts of things regarding your system
