Just loaded XP on my OB800 CT 133 along with Open Office and it works quite well (80MB RAM). Problem is the screen image quality is much lower than when running DOS or Win95 with the appropriate HP/Neomagic driver although it is is 600x800 mode. Of the four on the recovery CD, XP automatically identified the NT version of the HP/Neomagic driver as the best one to use during the install process. Is this the image quality a problem with XP? Suggestions for an alternative video driver please?
