Exclamation had to format my computer and i have a big problem!

i had to format my computer and i had it running and i was trying to install the drivers for my internet card but the drivers are in a weird file type. one is a sys file one is 2k2 file one is a 982 file and the other is a me2 file and apparently cant read these files and i cant find a program that can read them.
does anyone know of a program that can read them?

Post the site where you found those drivers and post which card (make and model) you have so we can help you find the correct drivers. Those extensions are not readable file formats whatsoever.

i already knew that those files are not readable. but i have vista home premium and the card is a piece of crap but its a belkin F5D7000. and the weird thing is that i got the drivers from the CD that came with it and i have used that CD many of time and have never had any problems with it! i dont know what happened to it. and i cant find the drivers anywhere!

Belkin : Support : F5D7000 Driver

Maybe the files on the CD became corrupt. Above is Belkin's website, just search on the list for your Windows version.

No look on that list, about 4 down is one for Vista. You need to find one that is specific to your OS.
