Hello,
I am unable to install the missing driver for my old Compaq ProLinea 5120e computer.
The computer is additionally equipped with 3dfx VooDoo 1 and SB 32 CT3600. I installed a clean system (Win95 OSR2.1) and drivers - of course, apart from 3dfx and sb, I installed a graphics driver (Cirrus Logic 5434 1.92B) and that's all because I don't see anything else. I wonder if there are any drivers for the motherboard? I haven't found anything like that.
I downloaded the drivers from https://driverscollection.com/?H=Compaq%20Pro … SS=Windows%2095, but only the graphics driver was suitable, and the rest are not needed.
Do you have any idea how to identify this device? I would appreciate any suggestions.
Best regards!

HWinfo helped me identify some devices I was having trouble with and works in 95.

I’ve got Windows 95 running on a Compaq Prolinea, and I vaguely recall there being a Compaq-specific driver or utility related to the BIOS controller. It installs an executable that gets added to AUTOEXEC.BAT, allowing Windows to manage hardware ports directly (it even overrides BIOS-level settings; in a bad way).
