Upgrading Realtek RTL8101E driver--installation wizard choice unclear. Repair/Remove?

I chose a Factory Recovery on this g60-443CL laptop with Vista Home Premium, 64-bit, and the Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC.

 

So I got the update from the Drivers and Software HP page, and ran sp39906.exe.

After the Installation Wizard showed the version (6.207.606.2008 Rev. A), and date (7/24/2008), it provided the dialog box to choose among 3 options...but only 2 options were listed.

 

(3 options:) The title of the dialog box was:

Modify, rapair, or remove the program

 

then, there were only 2 options (radio buttons) that didn't produce a 1-to-1 correspondence with the 3 options:

* Repair --Reinstall all program features installed by the previous setup

* Remove--Remove all installed features.

 

I'm used to uninstalling a driver (before installing a new driver [version])...then just installing the new driver {so repair, doesn't seem to fit, and remove doesn't fit, either}

 

Should I choose "Remove", let the installation wizard complete, then go back, run sp39906.exe again (and would the 2 choices be different this second run [with an "install" option]) ?
