Need help finding drivers


hi guys sorry if am posting this in the wrong section,please move if so.

now i have re formatted my mums zoostorm 10-270 netbook freedom,which come with windows 7 starter edition.

yes i know the netbook wasnt the best thing to have but it was all she really needed it to surf about and other little bits and bobs.

i have now been searching the net for the most up to date drivers for this netbook,and failing badly .

i have even tried using programs like driver genius and a few more which yet again drivers seem to be all out dated,am in real need for these,has my mums been on the blower {phone} to me and its been like 5 days now,she is so lost without this netbook,i hope i can get some very kind person to help me find all drivers for this darn n/book.

thankyou for taking the time in reading post and hopefully pointing me in solving problem.

AThankyou all

yeah went to that link it then ask me to install the plugins needed for it to run,and after all that no device drivers could be found at all.

but i do have the option to get them from windows update,but i have always been told to never ever have them from there,would this be wise to do,meaning getting them from windows update ?

It's just a netbook.
So what if it doesn't have the most up to date drivers, do you think your mom cares?
Use windows update and give it back to your mom.
