It is what the monitor is plugged into at the back off the computer. lets try and look for a peace of hardware that is not active.

Start > (right Click) My Computer > Manage

Download the new driver and save it somewhere you can find it again. Uninstall the old drivers and reboot, if you get an error while uninstalling them try again in safe mode. then install the new drivers that you downloaded.
