Try and find the driver for the monitor. What resolution is it at the moment?
This often happens when the drivers for the onboard videocard are either not the genuine nvidia or ATI or need updating.
Whats your video card?
Whats your video card?
You first need to install the chipset drivers for your laptop, then install the driver for your VGA card. If you don't have the drivers on a CD from the laptop manufacturer, download them from their site.

let me help beet a dead horse. go to the manufactures website and download the drivers for your laptop. if you dont have the drivers for your network card you may have to download them on another computer and burn them on a disk or flash key. good luck

How do I find out which driver for video card Ineed to download and from which manufactueres website?
what kind of laptop do you have?
Download the drivers directly from the laptop manufacturer's homepage. Most manufacturers list their models along with links to the specific downloads for that model. If when you bought the laptop you had a choice of different VGA Adapters for the same model, then check what you bought it with and download the appropriate driver. Most laptops though only come with one VGA controller and then you can't download the wrong driver. And don't forget to install all the drivers, not just those for the VGA controller. Particularly the chipset drivers are important, as the VGA card will only run properly if those drivers are correct too.
