Compaq Presario 1245 Display Drivers?

    Hey I'm looking for the correct display driver for a compaq Presario 1245 notebook. I was on the compaq website and I found a bit of help but since I dont have the laptop I cant act on it.

    The owner installed the wrong drivers for the laptop (dont ask me why) and now they need to know how to get the right ones back on.

    The advice on the webite requires you to have the laptop still in its original setup which I'm not sure it is, so I'm looking for an alternative just in case. If anyone knows what type of graphics adapter is in the laptop or even better a direct link to the drivers it would be super helpful (man that sounds silly).

    Thanks in advance.

    ...that laptop uses a Neomagic 2097 graphics chipset. However, you may want to get the diagnostics thingy from here to be sure...

    hehehe, well you see my faith in boards.ie made me post here before searching. I searched before I read any replies (in fact I forgot I posted at all after doing the search because I got the same link) and so the problem was solved. Thanks for the replies anyway, but you should see it as a complement that I post before I search ;)
