Default Driver or Setting?

Re-Imaged a Dell Demension 8100 Series PC with ME, which it originally came
with. After installing drivers for different devices I proceeded with the
monitors drivers. After changing resolution to 1024x768 and rebooting, I get
thru Windows ME booting up to the Network Password Box, which I was going to
get rid of later on. I hit ESC or Cancel on the box and the monitor goes
into like a hibernation state, and a message right in the middle of the all
black screen shows "Monitor is working. Change PC setting." It will happen
everytime I restart and bypass the password box. I go into safe mode and
then get into the desktop properties, under Advanced. then Monitor to change
the Hardware Acceleration meter to None. Then I would restart and get back
the 16-Bit resolution(800x600). I've also checked and changed the monitor's
power settings and unchecked its Enable Hibernation box and nothing.

Basically, I can't use anything other than the standard VGA drivers.
Installing others just gets me to that black screen. So my question, is it a
driver issue or just some setting I'm overlooking.
