Installing Video Drivers -- What to do Next?

[W. Watson]

I downloaded a 74M file of video drivers for my new Gateway notebook. It was
in the form of an exe file. I run it, and it finished somewhat quickly.
Previously, I could get my video projector to operate. Now it cannot be
reached. I checked the date of the driver install. It's 4/4/06. The date on
the file is 10/6/6, so obviously it didn't install. It seems to me that I
need to do something to complete it. What?

When I tried to re-execute the file today, almost every file wanted to know
if I wanted to replace the one already there. I could see this would be a
long process, so terminated. This is just evidence the unzipping process
probably was completed.

Not necessarily. The date on the setup file might have nothing to do with
the driver's date.

It seems to me that I need to do something to complete it.
What?

Find where the files extracted to, and then either run setup from there (if
there is one) or go to device manager, right-click on your video card, and
change the driver - specifying the path where the extracted files are.

Find the directory where is unzipped those files, see if it also has a
setup.exe double click it to run.
