OK, I finally got it working!!!!!!!!! The problem was that I had to download the updates BEFORE I tired installing the drivers. Then it found all of them and installed them WITHOUT A PROBLEM!!!!
Well, I have one more question about ubuntu that I couldn't find on google... When I load a youtube page, I have to click on the part where the flash is, so that it will load. How do I do that. I have the flash player right now, it just sucks that I have to click for them to load.
I had a look around, and it is definitely related to flashplayer9. Some fixes, and some guesswork.. works on some systems and not others. i don't have ubuntu and my debian is well back on the current ubuntu so I can't experiment with anything that will be relevant..
My view on it is.. so what if I have to click it for it to load? In my books that is actually an advantage because it speeds up page loading.
google ubuntu flashplayer grey screen.. and there are a lot of hits.
