If you have trouble with your mouse locking up when accessing video settings/properties, this driver will clear up the problem (under Windows Me for an eSlate 400K). Unzip the file in a new directory, then use Device Manager and select the video adapter section. Go to properties and select the Update driver option. Then select the new directory and allow your system to update the driver and re-boot. Your system lock-up problems under Windows ME will be over.
