Not only did I obviously say that wrong, but I also lied!  I am NOT 
using the 93.71 drivers or even the 91.47 drivers.  I'm actually using 
the 84.25 drivers!  I have the 93.71 drivers downloaded, but never 
installed them (which is what threw me off).  I've never upgraded past 
84.25 because everything has always worked perfectly with them.  Sorry 
about that...
