what happened to good old generic drivers

i mean the drivers that you could use temporarily (untill you can find the one that windows likes). Or is there not such a thing?
I remeber back in the days, (windows 3.11 & workgroup) I dont think i need extra drivers like you do now!

MS should have more default drivers in the retail release. Until then, it's up to the manufacturers to come up with them.

Vista does include the generic VGA driver, and installs it when installing Vista. Just delete your current driver and other display software, and the VGA driver will take over.
