I'm working with my dad's old Toshiba to try and get it up and running again, but I'm having trouble with the display drivers (I think). The trouble is that it can only display 16-bit colours at 640x480 resolution (which, oddly enough, is displayed in a box screen with a black border rather than stretching the image to fit the screen).

It apparently requires the S3 Savage IX video drivers, which I've downloaded and attempted to install, but it keeps telling me that the drivers are already up to date. I'm going through the driver update wizard, because I can't find an executable file in the driver package I downloaded.

I'm also having trouble with the audio, but I think I have that figured out. I think I just need the drivers for a Yamaha YMF744 sound card, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
