    Ok so I'm just installing some drivers and the driver doesn't work from the site. It downloads and I extract it and instead of opening the wizard thing it just opens the folder where all the files are and there's nothing in there to open or continue.. Any help plz!!

    You need to install it via Device Manager; open up device manager, right click the device, driver tab and then click Update Driver and navigate to the extracted folder
