display errors

[Guest]

I keep getting s3gnb display driver errors when playing certain games, I
tried updating the driver but S3 Grapics has discontinued this driver and are
giving no updates for it. Is there anyway I can download a differant display
driver? If so any suggestions for the type to use would be greatly
appreciated. It would be for my son's laptop and he plays alot of games so I
need a really good one. The laptop is for an HP Omnibook xe4100 running
windows xp pro.

First of all, you should only be getting the display driver from HP for that
specific model laptop. If you've installed any other drivers from any other
source, you should uninstall them and install the HP ones.

Secondly, it really depends on the games your son is trying to play. Unless
you specifically buy a gaming laptop (and they are very expensive), laptops
are not suitable for playing graphically-demanding games. I suspect that
your son is trying to play games that will not run on your laptop.
