Start -> Control Panel -> "System" icon -> click on "Hardware" tab -> Click on "Device Manager -> go to the yellow exclamation point and double click on it. -> Click the Driver tab -> Update driver - then tell it to search in your removable media. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Assuming you have the cd in the drive. Or you can also go to my computer with the cd in, double click the cd-rom icon, and it should have autorun with setup that'll start and follow those steps.

Also, press the windows key + pause/break to bring up system icon rather than control panel

do you see a flash of a blue screen? Otherwise, right after the BIOS loads start hitting F8 repeatedly until you see a black and white menu. From there select "Disable automatic restart on system failure" and hit enter. See if it blue screens when you start up and write down the stop code (usually comething like 0x0000008e) yadda yadda yadda. You could also go into safe mode and it'll prompt you with a windows that'll ask if you want to go into system restore, hit no to go into system restore and select a date just previous to you installing that driver
