Help Please! Uninstalled SiS_MM1.05

Not exactly a programmer's question, I realise, but I thought you might be
able to advise better than anyone. Forgive me if this seems inappropriate.

I mistakenly uninstalled my
SiS_MM1.05 from Add/Remove Programs (thinking it was some obscure piece of
software I'd tried and forgotten to uninstall earlier). The files themselves
only consist of a .isu and a .bmp of a rose! ...and I don't know what an isu
file is.

After panicking when the restart resulted in a maximum of 16 colours and
everything on the screen went big, I started trying to find out about this
and track down the missing driver. A friend told me it was a driver and just
to download it (I don't have disks for the software on my PC) and reinstall
it. I couldn't find the SiS_MM1.05, but SiS_1.04 driver was available, so I
downloaded that as a zip.

Anyway, the question that's puzzling me now is - having downloaded it - what
next? My ZipCentral says it won't install by it's automatic installation
routine (as there's no installation program in it). I don't know what to do.

In fact I still have the exact folders and files of the 1.05 as I always zip
everything before I uninstall it, and I've put them back, but I don't know
how to get my driver working. The 1.04 contained pretty much the same files
as the 1.05, so now I have two versions and no clues. I wondered if I need
to do some tweaking to the registry, or is there an installer I need?

Can you give me any advice, please? I'm running Windows 98 2nd ed.

Thanks in advance

John
