We can't tell you where to get drivers if you don't tell us what kind of laptop you have. This may not be necessary, however, because most laptops come with a recovery partition which will allow you to restore the laptop to the state it was in when you bought it. This will likely wipe any user files (videos, text, mp3, etc) that you loaded up so if you go the recovery route you should make a backup of your files to an external drive first.

Hello,

Since you already found the site for the driver what you are missing is the order to install them. The first driver you need to download is the chipset driver. You have to have the chipset driver loaded before you can access any additional devices in the computer properly. Without it any driver you try to install for a built in device will not be able to communicate with the device. Once you install the chipset driver I will be willing to bet you can install the others without any problems.
