- Well, it wasn't really that much of a hassle (especially since you have a
- supported video card) but anyway...

- As long as you're not thinking you'll get seamless windoze from this (cause
- you won't without the service pack), just copy the driver for the res. you
- want over VGA.DRV and SWINVGA.DRV (backup the old ones first of course.)
- For example, the driver that came with my ET4000 for 800X600X256 was called
- something like wn468.drv or something cryptic like that. I just typed
- 'copy wn468.drv vga.drv'
- 'copy wn468.drv swinvga.drv'
- and it worked just fine.
