That's not part of the Ubuntu installation process…make sure you got a quality ISO. To make sure, you can get a torrent from Ubuntu's main site and verify it with the MD5 checksum.

Ubuntu does not install automatically from the start, it is a Linux-LiveCD which means it should boot into a slimline version of Ubuntu without installing anything, then you can double-click the "HD-Install" to being the installation process. The icon will bring up a wizard, answer the 5 (or 6 questions, can't remember) and happy using :).

exe is windows executable.

Google to find driver for linux. But most of the time, i think it is automatically install. Try ifconfig
