Try it one more time..
Use the file you downloaded..
some drivers don't have a exe file with them just a INF file..(short for install 
information file)
Use the Add & Remove Hardware icon in the control panel.
When it ask ,tell it you have the disk,,,point it to the spot on the HD when you 
unziped the file..
It should pickup the inf file you downloaded and reinstall them..
Good Luck
