Have you tried updating from Device Manager? Anyway, I don't know if you can update the secondary controller without updating the primary one.

This is how I deal with win98 device drivers. Reboot into safe mode. Remove drivers. Reboot. Don't let windows autoinstall it. Go and when you try to install the new drivers, specificly direct it towards the version you what it to use.
