I have a and Eview 17f2 monitor and a Intel 845GV Chipset and Intel Extreme Graphics 3D 64 MB Shared Memory graphics card. I am running redhat 8. When I login I get distorted graphics and the same thing on my desktop but when I move my mouse over the distorted area it becomes clear most of the time. I have a driver for the chipset but I dont know how to install it. I need help and I am a newbie!!!!

First you want to boot to a console login instead of a graphic login, and you'll need to exit out of XFree86 to do this with <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Backspace>, next you need to edit /etc/initab and change the default runlevel to what ever redhat uses for a console login - in slackware its 3 - once you've done this reboot and login as root, then do "xf86config", follow the prompts and see if that gets things going.
You may have to upgrade your kernel to get full support for this chipset, and upgrading to a newer version of redhat may be the best way for you to do this.

here's a really good site about that video chip. Just follow it and I hope it helps ;-P
