I need a driver for Packard Bell monitor model 1401s.Using win 3.1 in a Compaq Vesario 633.I am pretty sure it is a SVGA monitor.It had Compaq 3.1 os but I had to reload the os with win 3.1.When I did this I lost resolution in my pictures they are very grainy.If someone knows the solution to my problem I would appreciate the help. I know it is a old system but I am playing with it.I have found some good uses for it. Thanks A Bunch TVM
