Microsoft Windows 98 laptop is stuck with 640x480 res/no snd
Is there any way I can fix this without physically taking the computer apart?

it's a real laptop, it doesn't have an SVGA card in it, and it's a Compaq.

Do you have any Drivers/Recovery CD for your laptop?

Re: Microsoft Windows 98 laptop is stuck with 640x480 res/no
no. I don't know where they are... The HDD had a bad registry, I managed to recover my dad's laptop using scandisk(because my dad bought it when he was in college), then I reinstalled windows 98 because of a logical DOS drive...

Re: Microsoft Windows 98 laptop is stuck with 640x480 res/no
Oh for crying out loud...
What is the model of the laptop? Have you tried googling on what kind of video adapter it has? 10 posts before the proper questions are asked...
And to the OP: Next time you ask for support, be sure to give all the info you can about what you need support for. Brand, model, error messages (if such exists) etc... You don't call a support line and scream "It doesn't work!" and then expect them to magically know the answer to your problem...
If we get all the info then we can see if we can help you.

Re: Microsoft Windows 98 laptop is stuck with 640x480 res/no
The laptop has a NeoMagic NMG video chip. But to be more specific I need the model number ID printed at the back of the laptop. But from what I can see the whole 19xx series has the same chip, so that is what you should look for.
Try also to find out the PnP ID number (vendor and device ID) which you can find in device manager. That will pinpoint the actual model even further.

Re: Microsoft Windows 98 laptop is stuck with 640x480 res/no
I am sorry, but this model seems to be more or less non-existing. It could be some custom series, or just plain too old. But to really figure out what hardware you got in the system you will need to figure out the PnP IDs for the devices you need drivers for. Vendor and Device ID, only then can you really track down what you got there.
Re: Microsoft Windows 98 laptop is stuck with 640x480 res/no
Maybe try a generic VESA driver? This will give you higher resolutions and more colour depth options, but nothing more.

This page should have the links you need for that laptop.
The links are directly to HP's FTP (HP purchased Compaq in 2001):

Re: Microsoft Windows 98 laptop is stuck with 640x480 res/no
I won't be able to download that on ie5, and I don't have a floppy drive on my newer laptop. I would have to get a usb floppy drive for that to work. Buuuuuut... lucky for me... my grandma has one, so when I go to my grandma's, I can get the floppy drive. so I can download the driver, put it on a floppy disk, and then put the disk in my old laptop. I probably won't need any further help on this.

Re: Microsoft Windows 98 laptop is stuck with 640x480 res/no
Ok, Never mind the "no further help". Sorry for the HUGE bump, but I have found some sound drivers on the old Windows copy, and it installed, but when I go to the "Sounds" option in Control Panel, and try to play a sound, it comes up with an error saying "Windows cannot play the sound C:\WINDOWS\Media\(insert sound name here).wav. Your sound card may be in use." Also I am a complete idiot. I didn't realize that there was a dock on the laptop, and when I took it off it said it was a Series CM2030.
