When you ran the Bootcamp Assistant in Mac OSX you will have been prompted to download a driver package that could be written to a CD or USB drive.

Did you install these drivers in Windows?

PS A few carriage returns in your posts would make them far more readable.

Did you run the setup.exe?

Sounds like something may have gone wrong writing it to disc. No matter. Just copy the file onto a new cd or preferable a usb thumb drive, or into sound kind of cloud strage (dropbox, box, adrive etc).

No matter how you get it there once you have the intact files just run setup.exe and it'll install all the necessary drivers for you.

A carriage return is just a new line. Press enter really. It's just that a screen full of text will put a lot of people off from reading.

Usually the package will run and self install. When this fails do as mrplow says and physical double click on setup.exe in Computer > DVD Drive.
