I've built a new PC. I'm in the process of install drivers and other. But I've ran into an issue. So, as you know I am not able to change the resolution display until I have installed the graphics drivers. Now, my current display is smaller than the install manager. This creates a problem as I am unable to click next. Anyone know of a solution?

No worries. This one is an easy solution. Boot into Safe Mode by restarting and taping F8. Go to advance startup, select Safe Mode. The screen will default to I believe 800x600. You'll be able to see the the catalyst install manager window. Install and restart.

But you were able to boot into Safe Mode right?

The wrong driver detected is a separate issue. Since you didn't mention the make...
Try this for AMD: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/auto/amddriverdownloader.exe
Try this for Nvidia: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx

If this is onboard, there should be a CD with the motherboard for this purpose. But I'd prefer going to the manufacturer website (don't know which board you have) and download the latest.

We're here to help. Let us know. Good luck

I've done some research and it is not able to install my driver through safe mode. What I did instead was extract files onto a USB and update through windows.
