Don't pretend you are stupid when you aren't. This driver used to have an option (nicely accessible through user interface) which allowed to just not use it. It was *designed* to be either used or not used. And when not used, it would do nothing and interfere with nothing.
So, the newer version doesn't that anymore? Then you can't replace one version with another without performing some check. The update is incomplete and buggy if it does that.
