Hi, On my windows xp computer I need to redownload the sound driver. I located the driver, and when I try to install it by running the setup, it tells me to use device manager to update it. But, when I go to use device manager to update it, it only looks for the original .inf file which comes with the install disk. My issue is that the file I downloaded from my manufacturer is .exe, so it can't use the file to update the driver.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Right click the installer, and extract it, if that is not an option, download 7-zip, install that, then extract the file. Then point the dialogue in device manger to the inf file that was extracted.
