sounds like your in over your head .lol
you install then starting with the chipset ,any that have a setup file you just click on that ,ones with no setup file have to be install via the device manager , for that right click on mycomputer go properties ,hardware /device manage any device wit h yellow or red!! or X need to have drivers installed ! o red
