You need to uninstall the adapter, then install the new driver and only plug the adapter in when the driver installation tells you to.
And please do not spam two forums with bumps for help again, there are a lot of people awaiting help and bumping will not move you up the queue. Not in my queue anyway.
Okay. I registered anyway. Oh well! Anyway, how to update the firmware/software on it?
Release notes Instructions below
For Windows 8/8.1

Run the file you just downloaded and follow the on-screen install instructions.
Okay. Thank you all very much. Also, please forgive me for being impatient and rude. I am very sorry.
