I have exactly the same problem.

I am using Win 7 Ultimate, some of the info is a little different, because I am on a gateway.

Has no one figured out a solution for this problem as yet.

It's been annoying me for over a year.

I have the exact same problem and the EXACT same details as Eskimo9 when I looked!  (And I tried the useless uninstall BS advice already)

Hardware Ids:

Driver Key

EVERYTHING is the same but I'm not on a Dell.  It's a custom-built with a Sabertooth board. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU960  @ 3.20GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.2GHz

So got any bright ideas why we're seeing the EXACT SAME details?   I can't help notice you haven't replied with any kind of advice for over two months.
