Add-remove programs, or an uninstall in the program folder first, which you
have already done.

If the device is attached, it will show up in Device Manager. If it is not
attached, you might have to follow the instructions in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315539

Open a cmd prompt, enter
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
start devmgmt.msc
view-show hidden devices
uninstall or delete the greyed out copies of the device you are trying to
get rid of, probably under networking devices.
Be sure to look at the bottom for yellow question marks, "unknown" devices.
These might be partially installed.
I would uninstall and delete all of the one you don't want, and maybe the
one you do want, reboot with both devices removed, and start over.
