The link for your ISO of the VGA driver https://blog.pipetogrep.org/downloads/win_nt_proxmox/vbempk.... doesn't work. Did you delete it or move it?

im guessing its an iso made of the contents from the zip linked as the source of that, at https://navozhdeniye.narod.ru/vbemp.htm#2 ; you want the 2nd column down ( ensure the url file name matches the filename, except iso is a zip => vbempk.zip )

The download link for that website goes to here: https://navozhdeniye.narod.ru/donate.htm

Do I have to donate to get the driver?

That's the first table row, the 2019 version. Click the link in the second table row to get the 2015 version without donation.

archive.org to the rescue

https://archive.org/details/VBEMPNT

can confirm the iso has the vbempk folder

  - i can also confirm that the two are not the same (aka the source vbempk.zip and the archive-org's iso's vbempk folder)
  - i can easily see why text files might have improved wording, cannot know why the sys files are different

it'll be in a vm, but i'd still be careful with either choices

The previous version of the driver from 2015 is still freely available. I got lost there for a bit too.

I have fixed it. Thank you for pointing that out.
