1) The latest version of Wheezy is 2013-02-09-wheezy-raspbian a zipped image of which can be downloaded from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads - you will need to unzip the downloaded file and write the ".img" file to your SDHC card via another computer - more info. on this at http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup .
2) No drivers should be necessary.
3) How are you connecting to the monitor eg. via HDMI/DVI or through a powered HDMI to VGA adapter?
4) Can you post a screen image/monitor photo?
We need more info. w.r.t. your setup please.

Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm

Hi there:

Using HDMI/DVI to connect the monitor. Will try to download and install Wheezy is 2013-02-09-wheezy-raspbian. Right now after the rainbow splash screen I only see Raspberry pi log on the left top corner of the screen. But When I connect to my panasonic TV I have the login screen after after all the initial bootup messages..

Thanks
