Also, ckahn, with regards to the file on the Apple website, it's either going to be x86 only, or compiled into one executable that auto-detects whether you're on x86 or x64. Did you download the file directly? Or does it show up in Software Update? The software update one should pull the correct repository, as there are 32 and 64 bit versions of Apple SWUD.

Hmmm - I have found a solution to this problem that works reliably for me, and I posted it a few days ago, but no one has replied to my posting to say whether it is working for them or not.
When the problem occurs for me, I can reliably fix it by doing the following:
1) Reboot Windows 7 (I have the 64-bit version) in safe mode by holding the F8 key down during the Windows boot.
2) Select the option "Safe Mode with Networking"
3) Login to your normal account
4) Simply reboot Windows normally
When I do this, my brightness buttons, F1 and F2, reliably work again to display the brightness overlay and dim and brighten my 2011 MacBook Pro's screen.

Ok - sorry it didn't work for you. It's worked for me each time I've tried it, so I thought it might be worth seeing if it worked for others.
I'm running the exact same driver version as you, on a fully-patched Windows 7 64-bit install. The only other relevant information I can provide is that when I first noticed this problem, I completely uninstalled the Catalyst control panel software as well as the Bootcamp video driver and then used the install DVD that came with my Mac to completely reinstall the bootcamp drivers from scratch.

Here's what I did:
1) Start the Windows Device Manager (search for "Device Manager" in the Windows start menu's "search programs and files" search box - it should be the first entry found under "Control Panel" items)
2) Open the "Display Adapters" node from the device tree - you should see "AMD Radeon HD 6750M"
3) Right click on "AMD Radeon HD 6750M" and choose the option "Uninstall" from the context menu.
4) I ticked the item for "Delete the driver software for this device" since I knew I would want to reinstall the version from the DVD, even if it was older.

I thought you were saying that you completely uninstalled all the Boot Camp drivers, not just the ATI, so I was wondering which uninstaller removes them all.
