I have a Sony VAIO M, from May 6, 2010, and I need drivers for my computer. I have a dual boot confiiguration with Joli OS 1.2 and MS-DOS 7.10/Win 3.11. This works fine, but I have a few problems. I can't get any sound, good graphics or my touchpad. A USB mouse works perfectly fine, but I don't want to lug it around every where. My netbook has an Intel Atom N450 dual thread processor, running at 1.66 Ghz, 2 Gb RAM, I upgraded it from the origional 1Gb, a Synaptics mousepad, and a graphics card and sound card built into the processor. The screen resolution is 1024X800X32BIT. Can somebody give me drivers or point me in the right direction. I know searching a driver database would be useless, because my computer only has drivers for 2000 and up. If there is a generic driver, preferably widescreen, for my display, I would like that to be the main priority. THANKYOU FOR YOUR HELP.
 
i wanted to ask that. but you did it. That will be his nightmare.
every single driver will be set up manually and i ask why?
must be the adventure.
oh well...........
 
yea if your using dial up. better choice would be 98 2nd edition or even 95 OSR2 would be a better choice. some people will not change. i know two. same way. thats ok.
 
I have just discovered and intrigiuing thing. In Arachne browser for DOS, I got the resolution to 800x600x256!!! Will this same driver work for windows 3.1?
 
If you are looking for a lite Os why not use a Linux Distro? They can be just as lite and would be so much better supported. Good choice if you are wanting extreme lite weight but modern support I would go with Puppy Linux or Lubuntu. That is just me though.
