yes, i've done that. they install all by themselves, creating their own file and everything. then i go to the add hardware wizard to try and get rid of those yellow issues among my devices. so i click on the device, let's say network controller, or ethernet controller, it tells me the drivers are not installed (code 28) click finish to launch a troubleshooter, which opens hardware update wizard. if i go option 1, (install the software automatically {recommended} ) it finds nothing, asks to search the net which suprisingly does not work.

if i go option 2, ( install from a list or specific location), it won't let me point it in the right direction; when i tell it right down to what file the drivers have been installed to, it won't let me click ok, as in there are no driver files there.

i'm really not an idiot, this just isn't working for me and i don't understand why. it's been a long time since i did this kinda stuff, but i have done it before. any ideas??
