Holy run on sentence, EQUITZ! Welcome to the forum.
Russ- the compaq laptops were fameous for having problems with anything but their specific video driver. The vid card maker's driver usually don't cut it in a compaq lap top.
My advise is to download the specific driver from Compaq's web page on another computer and copy it to a CD. Then boot to safe mode on the laptop, remove your vid adaptor in device manager, and try a full boot. It should prompt you to add the driver- point it to the CD.
