load a .sys driver manually (not using device manager)

I am trying to install a network adapter on my laptop with no success. I have the correcect drivers from the dell website, and the adaptor is detected each time I restart. However, the driver will not install, and selecting the folder with the driver gives the error "the specified location does not have information on your hardware" I am selecting the folder with the .inf file, and I am now at the point where I would like to try to load the .sys file manually. How do I do this?

1.  Which OS and service pack is on the machine?
2.  Did the driver come with an installer? (setup.exe or some such)
3.  Is the driver the correct one for the OS on the machine?
