if it is a new driver for Window 7 machine then you have no choice but to install it for those machines to work. <br />
<br />
Why not copy the existing driver somewhere safe and then install the new one. <br />
<br />
Actually, once you install then you have a choice in a drop down menu to select either. <br />
<br />
