Do all drivers get files in the same place? If so where do I find them?

Hi
Not necessarily. Which drivers, in particular, are you referring to? Graphics and sound drivers may be installed into their own folder.

Hi
Have a look in Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager. Expand the + next to your monitor, right click on it, select Properties>Driver tab>Driver Details...

I know that this sounds crazy but when I do what you suggested I find that
device manager doesn't even have monitors listed as a category. This is in
line with using the troubleshooter & finding that everything is grayed out.
It seems as if I have some default driver listed that it doesn't want me to
change. I can't recall ever installing software for the monitor before but
indeed it might have happened. In any event I have used this laptop I'm
typing this on to download a driver for the monitor in question. The only
problem is that device manager won't let me change the driver because it
doesn't have one listed to delete first. Where do I go from here?

You may not have a monitor driver installed. It's not always essential and
probably won't make any noticeable difference.
Look on the monitor manufacturer's website for a driver.
