Mate, never install drivers that come on the disk - I'm not joking.
Chances are, by the time they have been manufactured, shipped to a distributor, then shipped to the shop, hung about on a shelf until you bought it, they are nearly always out of date.
You are always better off going to the website and downloading the latest driver.
As for updating drivers - I don't suggest doing this either. You're better off downloading the new driver, going to device manager (pc - yes?) Uninstalling the device, phsyically disconnecting the device, restarting the pc, then installing the new driver and connecting the unit as described by the manufacturer.
Give that a go and tess us how you got on. |

I`d shoot myself before figuring that out. |

| these minor inconveniences that always get sorted are hardly worth shelling out the extra grand to by a mac imo |
