Hello Arandur,
Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately, either I've suddenly become the world's dumbest person, or I'm missing something. I have been able to download a ".rar" file, which only wants to open with Adobe Reader, which doesn't make sense. But I tried, and got an error message saying the file could not be opened by Adobe Reader because it is corrupt.
When I open the "driver" folder at the download point, I see many, many files listed. There are some ".exe" files, which is probably what I'm looking for, so why that complete folder doesn't download is beyond me. It seems strange that you had success dowloading the file, but I don't. Is it common for vendors to direct people to Dropbox to get the files that make their product work? Not blaming Dropbox, just a question.
If you've got any ideas, please send them. Thanks again!

No it's very uncommon, that's why I told you not to trust it!
That being said I could be wrong and the file could be totally fine, it' just a little sketchy.
Can't help much other than that tho ):
Hope you driver works buddy!
Take care <3
Also if you could please like/or pick my answers as solutions I would appreciate it a lot since I'm in much need of more storage space!
