I installed Windows, everything was fine until I got to the part where you download the Mac for Windows drivers. When I open up the CD, it says that the installer needs a newer version. So, I can't connect my computer straight to the internet because of the lack of a non-wireless internet conection. If you could help me find out what to do really fast, it would be helpful.

You can copy the files off the CD and explore it to install specific drivers, such as the wireless.

I assume you're using XP. This issue already came up in another thread. The problem in that case was that the poster had not installed SP2. SP2 is mandatory...you cannot install a lower version and then upgrade later. If your XP install disk is a lower version, you can create a new install disk with the SP2 files included by following the instructions here.
