[MOVED] Graphics Drivers

I am new to Linux, a dummy, having problems, of course. I need to understand how to install graphics drivers into the Zorin 10 Core OS. I have a GMA 4500m card. I downloaded a package, but there is no change. I can't calibrate my laptop screen. skl_dmc_ver1_23 is what downloaded, but how do I install it? It appeared in my "Home" folder. Everything else works great! I really like Zorin. Please help me with this issue.

You are best using the default drivers if possible - is this an Intel Graphics chipset?

Yes, it is. Calibration is greyed out and my screen really needs some color correction. I can't get it to accept a color profile either. It is the only real problem so far.
