Welcome to PCHF, Bountyhunter.

No DVD, you say. That's not good. Let's try one thing at a time.

To begin with, boot up into the BIOS.
Verify that the DVD is listed and should be the first boot drive.

If that is good, will check something else.

Thank you for your help, they appeal on my device manager list, with exclamation marks next to them, and when I try to reinstall the drivers I get the error 37 message

Suggest you boot up into the BIOS and verify that one is listed as the first boot drive.

It all started with a virus, and the internal cd/dvd isnt working either, although they all show up on the screen, and when I plug them in I can here the computer sound ! It keeps telling me that I have no drivers, and I cant install anything because it would take a cd drive to put the software in.
