Compal Drivers

Hey guys, I have a 2010 HL90 I'm trying to get running again. I just installed Windows 7 64bit on a new SSD. Specs are as follows. CPU: Intel Core i5 540m @ 2.53ghz RAM: 4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 533MHz (7-7-7-20) MOBO: Compal NBLB2 (CPU) - never seen that (CPU) part before in Speccy STORAGE: 111GB Kingston SSD I'm running into drivers problems, specifically the GPU.

Select from Folder Menu: Download Site. Download Compal laptop and netbook drivers or install DriverPack Solution for automatic driver update.

Downloads Free! 62 Drivers, Manual and BIOS for Compal JHL90 Notebooks & Tablet PCs. Here's where you can downloads Free! The newest software for your JHL90.

Finding specs for this laptop online has proven difficult. One website I found claims it has a 9600m GT, so I downloaded GeForce Experience. It told me it 'cannot be used without an Nvidia gpu' or something to that effect. In other words, this laptop doesn't have a 9600m?

I downloaded Speccy. Right now it lists the graphics as '16MB ATI Standard VGA Adapater (COMPAL Electronics)' in other words, it's using the onboard gpu. Device Manager similarly lists a generic VGA device under displays.

I assume this is because I do not have the gpu drivers installed, and thus the computer is automatically using onboard graphics. I still have the Mobo driver disc. Under VGA Driver, it says ATI. So I have a feeling this is an ATI gpu, not Nvidia. But when I try and install the driver, it says 'This application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.'

Of course, if I just knew the gpu model, I could install drivers myself and possibly bypass whatever error is occuring with the mobo disc here. Is it possible my gpu chip just failed? How can I find out what gpu model I have? Elemential said: Run dxdiag Go to display What's the name below device? That's how you find out what GPU you have Is the monitor connected to the GPU or motherboard? Did you have a look inside the case? Is there a name or serial number on it?
