It seems there was some discussion about problems with video drivers for
the Librettos way back when people 1st starting experimenting with putting
W2K on them.  Maybe that was back when W2K was 1st released.  I installed
W2K that came with SP3 recently, and had no problem at all setting up the
800x480 high resolution driver.  It was part of the W2K OS I installed.  

Though W2K 1st installed a generic 640x480 driver when setup was complete, 
I just went into the advanced properties of the display preferences, and
changed the screen size and number of colors, and was set.

To my knowledge there was no W2K video driver made for the Librettos,
though it seems people may have found another that worked for them...
Though I may be wrong.

If you have one of the 1st couple versions of W2K, I wonder if installing
SP4 would install the video driver you need.  I started looking for what
all SP4 installs, but only found a list of the security updates.  

One way or the other, you probably ought to install SP4 for the security
updates...  And after it's in, you might find the video driver you need may
have been installed too.  Maybe ask about that in a Windows support group
somewhere if you want to be sure.  I know there's a Compuserve Windows
forum that's open to everyone on the Inet these days.
