Greetings,
I am currently seeking the Compaq Quick System Restore CD's for the Compaq Presario 1245 Laptop.

I've inherited the laptop as a hand me down, and it's missing all of its original drivers. I've spent days working on the machine, and currently have Win98 running on it, but it's still missing the right drivers. I did all sorts of searching on the Compaq site. Downloading has worked for the audio drivers, but not for the video/monitor driver and others. When the Neo Magic drivers try to install, it has errors. I am fairly certain after quite a bit of research that I need the Quick Restore CD's. Unfortunately, Compaq/HP no longer sells or supports these, and they seem nigh impossible to find on the web.

I figured that someone out there had or has a Compaq Presario 1245 and can help me out. I am willing to pay shipping to get the CD's to me, and even willing to ship them back if needed. I just want to get this poor machine working again.

Hope someone can help ! (x-posted)
