Download, install, and run Everest Home Edition on this machine. Once it's running, look under Computer, Summary, Display, or under Display, PCI/AGP Video. This will tell you what display adapter/chip you have. Post that information. (Video Adapter and 3D Accelerator.)

The driver file you need is win9xe67.exe. You can get it directly from Intel here.

Download it and run it on the machine. Post back with your results.
