Please help me - Dell Optiplex GX150 audio and video drivers

category: general [glöplog]
 
Please help me because I'm going insane soon. I know you can do this.

In my endless stupidity, I've agreed to fix minor problem on hospital's computer in which my father works. The machine is Dell Optiplex GX150 with installed Win98. In case you don't know - GX150 have preinstalled NT 4.0, so it seems a clever IT-asshole was trying to upgrade the sys.
Long story short, I had to reinstall whole OS. And it was a big mistake. There are no GX150 integrated peripherals video or audio drivers for 98!!!
I have no NT 4.0 installing cd and I need to have this Dell fully functional tommorow, as it's used for therapy on kids speech problems, there is whole therapy software suite installed on it with a microphone etc. So please, tell me how to install those devices on '98 manually or not.

video card is intel 815
audio card is a soundmax type card

GX 150 generally comes along with Windows 2000, not NT4.
Moreover, the Internal sound and videocard drivers are on an optiplex addon CD.
I had one for few years at home but just resold it to a colleague for his gran'pa few months ago.
I'm gonna looking if I have a drivers CD remaining in a box around.
Stay tubed...

I'll give a try with those. Thanks for help. doh, I hope you'll find them, this would be a great help with possible in the future (have you ever been using a computer used every single day by untrained in tech stuff personel and kids? No? You don't know what are you missing... For example, I've found a folder called "Docs to burn on a cd" filled with shortcuts to documents and folders on computer which I've been lurking into...)

Tried the graphics driver, works like a charm. However, the sound didn't, but I've installed my old SoundBlaster and now sound issu is a-ok.
But it's not the end, because due the lack of mainboard drivers CD ol' 98 doesn't detect properly integrated devices, so my Device Manager is full of yellow exclamation marks on devices like PCI ethernet controller, pci multimedia audio device and pci systemmanagement bus.
So doh, did you found that cd? It would be really useful now :/ Of course googling gave me nothing.
