Old laptop with CGA display

My son has an old laptop with a CGA display. When he tried to run Windows 3.0 on it, it worked, but the display was blank (because it was set to VGA). The CGA display driver was not on it. Tell me where I can get a generic CGA driver for Windows 3.0 please!!!

You must have selected VGA at Setup.
From the MS-DOS prompt with Windows turned off. Change to C:\Windows and type SETUP and press Enter. Change setting to CGA. You will be asked to insert Windows Disk.
