What you are probably looking at is a list of all the drivers for your
machine. The fact that the they are not automatically included in downloads
probably shows that they are already in your machine. Do a little research,
looking for the driver involved, right-clicking and checking the date of the
version that you have. That should show you if the update has already been
installed.
