If you keep uninstalling though it will go threw all the previous versions you never uninstalled before and edventually you can uninstall them all.

OK......I get the Idiot of the Year Award. In a nutshell, I tried to install the Win 7 32-bit driver into my Win 7 64-bit OS. Last night I decided to delete my beta 285.27 download figuring it was corrupt. It was simply the wrong version that I had selected to download from pure carelessness. The CORRECT version installed beautifully over the 280.26 (no uninstall necessary -- thanks!) and is working well.
