    Then I should go ahead & finish? What if something happens after that?

          How do I install a device in the device manager like the chipset driver I downloaded? Should I get rid of the unidentified drivers?

                7. Right-click the device you want to update, and then select Update Driver.

                8. Click NEXT to install the software automatically.

                9. Click FINISHED to complete the installation.

                Try them one by one. In worst case scenario, it simply won't accept it.

                  The 1st 2 say I shouldn't install. As does the 3rd.

                    Can you post a screenshot of your Device Manager?
