Need help finding drivers for win98se

    My cousin asked me to sort out his pc as it was giving him trouble so i re-installed win98se.
    But now i have items of h/w that have no drivers. I know i need graphics card drivers and there's a pci comunication and audio driver missing. Graphics card shows up as unknown device.
    I was hoping windows update would have them but no luck and he never got any discs with the pc as it was given to him.
    Is there away of finding out what i'm looking for like a uttility or something?
    I know absolutly nothing about this pc except the Mobo manufacture is msi, so it says when booting up the pc.
    Hope someone can help me

    Open up the case and have a look at the individual [parts you need drivers for. it will hopefully have some sort of markings

    use this to identify everything then more than likley you find all the drivers you need here
    http://www.driverguide.com/

    Also Belarc.com can identify devices and give you a name to google.

    Gotta love win98 " Windows cannot install your modem ,please connect to the internet and download new drivers" Class error.
