Those come under the "restricted drivers" category don't they? You have to manually enable those. System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager.

That isn't for drivers though. Did the stuff I told you last night work?

First you need Windows XP, then just download and run this: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/paintball2/paintball2_build019_full.exe?download

The linux version simply doesn't work correctly for most people.
