Hello, subject says it all

The driver for windows 2000 for the -vga std should be the Anapa VBE Vesa VBEMP if I understand correctly but I cannot on earth find this executable

all links for download all over the world are dangling!

Anybody has conserved this very important driver?

Thank you
R.

This "adapter" works in all versions of windows with a built-in vesa driver just fine, no replacement is necessary or desired.

The only problem is that some versions of windows consider that driver to be "problematic" somehow and mark the corresponding device with yellow exclamation sign. Go ask M$ about this.

Thanks,

I don't think so...

It detects new hardware (I am virtualizing an existing machine), asks me where to look for a driver, I make it go looking into the Win2000 installation CD and online at Windows Update but it says it cannot find a driver for such video adapter. It asks me if I want to disable the device or be prompted again for installation at the next boot.

And it keeps running at 16 colors (4 bit depth) 800x600 and very poor performances when moving windows around.
