Ubuntu 8.10 query

My 'experimental' old knackered laptop is a HP Easyone silver combo and I have installed Ubuntu 8.10 on it. I cannot set the desktop to normal viewing (eye candy) and can only have it set to basic. I presume this is because I have no Graphics card drivers installed. When I go to Hardware drivers>search it says there are no proprietary drivers in use. I believe my graphics card in it is an SiS 630s and I| have downloaded the driver for it. I now have a tdz file on my desktop from which I have extracted the driver icon. I dont know how to actually install it though - Doh!

Can anybody help please?
