Newbie here, My t43 says to get the screensaver feature to work, I need a video card installed. Where is it located, and how to get at it. And any generic card will work in it? Ed

Re: video card
On the bottom of the laptop is a label that says something like: TYPE 2686-DHU S/N: L3-12345 06/08
I just need your bold 7-character TYPE.
The laptop already has an (ATI or Intel) graphics card installed (soldered onto the motherboard), but obviously the drivers are missing.
Based on TYPE I can tell you where to get drivers.

Re: video card
Hi, the number is: 187162u, and I have Windows 7. Which I found out trying to get a Canon BCJ printer on, it didn't support it. But I did finally get in on. So, I'm figuring it might be difficult getting any drivers for it. Ed

Re: video card
Bad news!
Neither Vista nor W7 support the Intel graphics used on your T43. A generic VGA driver is all that's there.
Your best bet is to go back to Windows XP.

Yea, that's what I figured. Oh well, I really don't need a screensaver that bad. Thanks for your input. Ed
