Need display driver for Sony VAIO PCG-XG29 Clueless in Seattle 12-08-2006

I tried to post a message here yesterday but the Google search can't
find it this morning so I'm trying again. So my apologies if this
should somehow turn out to be a duplicate post.

I inherited my niece's old Sony VAIO PCG-XG29. It was running Windows
XP, but since I only have a CD for Win2K, I reformatted the VAIO hard
drive and installed Win2K.

Now I'm stuck with a 16 color VGA display.

I've been hunting around on the web for a suitable display driver but
haven't had any luck.

I'd be grateful for some help.

It's possible that a display driver for Windows 2000 doesn't exist for a
machine that came from the factory with XP.

Is there some sort of sticker saying NVIDIA or ATI on the bottom right under
the keyboard?

This is a pretty old laptop.

In the lower right corner of the keyboard is a sticker that says:

"Designed for Microsoft Windows 98"

I think you need to install the Intel chipset drivers, since it appears
from Sony's site that this has embedded 'everything'.
