Use driver without Dell Wireless Utility

I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 and when downloading the driver for the Dell  Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card the only option that http://support.dell.com offers is the driver and utility in one executable. I would like to have this piece of hardware installed only with the driver and no utility.

Thanks!

my option to uncheck is grey'ed out.
Are you successfully using the Windows Service though?
When I start the wireless zero configuration service which is set to automatic the option is still grayed out. With a reboot the process repeats itself so there is no permanent fix as far as I can see.

Thanks.

If you uninstall the util does it remove the drivers as well?
that is what I keep hearing to do so I am going to call dell and see if that is the preferred method. thanks.
