It looks like you did not install all fo the dirvers and you didn't install them in the correct order. The chipset drivers absolutely must be the first drivers installed, as Windows cannot recognize nor properly install drivers for many other devices if the chipset drivers are not installed first. See the following document on installation of drivers:

You can try installing the chipset drivers now, but it ususally doesn't work, so you may have to start over - reinstalling Windows, then installing the drivers in the correct order.
