Go to system properties (Right click on My Computer icon and select properties), go to Hardware tab and see Device Manager... Here look at all the entries and see which ones are not working (they will have icon with ! on them)... And see which devices are working properly... Identify the probable device with problem by eliminating devices without problem...

Try installing the drivers over the internet .. Click on the "new hardware' message and select 'yes this time only' under 'Can windows connect to windows update?'.....
