Linksys WMP54G install problems

I'm running Windows 2000 professional and I tried installing the
Linksys software to enable the wireless adapter. During install the
machine crashed and never completed the installation. WHen I try
install again it says "driver is installed" and will not allow me to go
further until I uninstall the previous version. When I try uninstall,
Windows will not let me - I'm assuming because the uninstall file was
never installed.
What are my next steps?
Do I just insert the card and try install after?
Alternatively how do I remove the software / program so that the
Linksys software wont recognize that its on the system?

Thanks

Hi
Log to the device manager and uninstall the wireless adapter
(http://www.ezlan.net/faq#ghost ).
Switch off the computer take the adapter out and boot without it.
This process should clean the installation.
Switch the computer Off, install the adapter and try again.
