Hi all. I got an old Toshiba Satellite 1800-s253 laptop that had been wiped. It didn't come with drivers of course and after installing Windows 98 I am struggling to find the video drivers for the computer. I can see from a manual that it uses Trident Graphics controller for graphics but searching for this doesn't seem to help either. What's weird is that Toshiba's computer website still has drivers for the computer but not the graphics drivers. I was hoping someone might have a bit more information on it or what I should be looking for to get the drivers I need. Thank you for any help.

spec sheets says it has trident 8mb.

typing in satellite 1800-s253 "Trident" driver in google now that we has more specific information reveals several pages.

This french one has all the drivers. You don't need to know french since names like AGP are the same.

Then pressing the button that is for 98 we scroll down to several files that say agp in the name and pops up 3 files

s180agp2.exe AGP GART and s180ali_regfix.exe and s180vid8.exe the trident video driver

the reg fix might not be video related but Id suggest using it. There are several other drivers there for other hardwares. It appears to be a ALI chipset.

I've solved plenty of capatchas in my days and even though i don't know what crosswalk is in french it seems that was obvious to select the cross walk. Then it let me download it.

Install 1st the AGP GART 2nd install reg fix 3rd install trident. that is s180agp2----->s180ali regfix------>s180vid8

Thank you a ton. I did see that French site but I can't remember now why I didn't think it was what I was looking for. Part of it being I didn't know what it was saying though. I'll go through the steps you suggested.
