I would think a careful uninstall of the old wrong one and an install of the new correct one would remedy the situation, I cannot think the wrong driver would burn out the card or physically damage it, it would just be rejected and not work at all. Touch wood! I had a thing with an Nvidea BETA driver about 9 months ago which meant I could not even get W7 to start. It meant a long and painful reinstall of the whole shubang.
