Why won't my wacom intuos small pen tablet work?

[Windows Central Question]

I borrowed my friend's Wacom Intuos Small Pen Tablet a couple of days ago and it won't work on my windows 8.1 laptop. She did give me the CD with the drivers on it and I have tried installing them but it says that "The New Hardware Found dialog will briefly display and the status LED will light' , but they wont. I'm not quite sure what to do and I would really like to use this to animate something!

try a different USB port, or different USB cable??
