Video drivers are available from the Chembook website assuming that your
friend is re-installing either Windows 98/ME or Windows 2000..

XP is NOT supported on the L3800 and it is unlikely that your friend will
resolve this.. the best hope is to try out the Win 2000 driver.. if that
doesn't work, re-installing either 98 or 2000 will see the laptop back in
usable working order..

If windowsxp does not recognize the video adapter, is there any utilities
that may be able to identify the chipset?

My friend has a 5 year old PC (a chembook laptop) and is looking for the
video driver -- after reinstalling the OS.

The laptop maker's web site do not have the exact model number (L3800) in
their driver download list. She downloaded one for a laptop with very
similar model name (3800) but it didn't work.
