    I assume you installed them and then rebooted, right?

    Try reinstalling them from device manager. Just right click on the device, and go to update drivers or properties...either way works, but the first option is more direct. Have it automatically find the drivers for you and see if that works. If not, you may have to direct it to the location of the driver.
