I'll try my best to direct you in the way I usually do this kind of thing, but beware that i'm using Win98, so it may differ slightly from what you actually have to do (if you are using 2000 or XP, say so and i'll see if I can find out how that works - I know 2000 does things differently)
---
Firstly, Unzip the driver files to somewhere handy on your pc (perhaps, " C:\Drivers\SFXCard " might be a good idea?) - also make sure that you have "use folder names" ticked. It'll make it easier.
Next, Right click on your "my computer" icon on the desktop, select "Properties". Next, select the "Device Manager" Tab. This should give you a list of components on your PC ("CDROM, Disk Drives, Display Adapters etc."), all branching from "Computer" at the top. First thing to be looking for is anything with a yellow question mark which says "Unknown Device". If you've got one, chances are that'll be your Sound Card (provided its the only thing you haven't not installed ^_^). If your PC has some idea about what it is, it may have placed it under "Sound, video and game controllers".
Anyways, right click on the "unknown device" or anything that looks exactly like your Sound Card, and click Properties. From Here, click the "Driver" Tab, and then the "Update Driver" Button.
Click "Next>" twice, and under "Specify a location" hit "Browse". Then Browse to whatever folder you put the drivers in, then click on the "WIN95" folder (on my PC this would have come out as " C:\Drivers\SFXCard\MPU&SER\WIN95 "). Click all the "Oks" and "Nexts" that your PC throws at you, and hopefully you should be done.
Hopefully.
