Windows won't accept latest Promise UltraATA 100 TX2 driver

Rather, it insists that I have the correct driver. By manually comparing the driver dates, the one I got from Promise is clearly newer, but Windows won't use it.

Do I have any options? The older driver prevents Windows from properly recognizing my 250GB drive. It sees only a 137 GB drive. If I attempt to position any part of any partition (regardless of format) past 137 GB, Windows will fail to boot. It will reach the point where it attempts to display the animated boot splash screen and then just sits there, not accessing the drive.
