Driver finder program said -"missing 25!!!"

So I bought their program. Took me all weekend with dial-up connection, but
I still have 18 missing, they say.
Why?
I have a dell, running xp home, I bought it used from a computer store,
never got the dvd or media player to work, said "I needed drivers,"
somewhere?? at sometime??
Before I did that, my friend said, "here try this dvd, I know it works", and
he put it in for me.
It's a HP DvD-writer!!
Well whatever he did or I did, (driver downloads that come with compressed
files, that won't stay open) is really messing things up.
Primary drive 1 not found Secondary drive 1 not found
F1- continue F2- set up utility
Now this a.m.
http: Error 12007 name of address could not be found FTP Passive
Error 12037 certificate is invalid or expired
Then it connected me. Help! No expert here!

NEVER use these "driver finder" or "driver detective" programs. They cost
you money to download drivers that are available for free from the computer
maker's website. Also, they are notorious for downloading obsolete or flat
out wrong drivers as you have found out. You've got such a mess now, it will
be much easier to go to the Dell website and download the drivers for your
machine and save them to a flash drive or burn to CD. Then reformat the hard
drive, reinstall Windows and use the drivers that are correct for your
machine. It'll be a lot easier to do this than it will be to straighten out
the mess that you've got.
