1) Drivers for a monitor? Usually a monitor wouldn't have drivers.
2) The drivers are usually specific to x32 and x64. It is possible you installed the wrong one.
Windows 7 has drivers for hard disk controllers that were available to Microsoft at the time that Windows 7 was compiled, unless he's slipped newer drivers in. And a lot of monitors have drivers, Sony for instance has them for most of their LCD's.
