Drivers

I am trying to get an old computer and monitor back in use for a friend. The only problem is that having replaced the hard drive and re-installed Windows 98 I have lost the drivers. Most of them I have been able to replace, but not the monitor driver. The native Windows driver only allows resolution of 640 X 480 and 16 colours. I know it can do better (I was running it on 800 X 600 when I was using it, I am not sure of the colour depth I used, but it was a hell of a lot higher than 16 colours). Unfortunately I cannot find a better driver, when I try to "search for more up to date drivers" I get told that this is the best available, and when I contact HP (it is a Compaq) they deny all knowledge of the existence of this model.

I vaguely remember having this problem before, when I lost a hard drive, and I think I got a better generic Windows driver for the system, but I cannot remember where from.

Can anyone help, please.
