Man, I totally understand your challenge. Since picking up my guitar I have discovered that my hands seem to have a mind of their own; and the ring finger seems to be the one that most often kills the string immediately below it.

In a different thread DirtyBill indicated that he lowered his chair about an inch and half. Just this morning I sat in a lower chair, which caused my knees to bend more thereby raising the guitar and making it a bit easier to bring my fingers down on the fretboard at a more appropriate angle. I've only tried this once to go through the 7 major chords but it did seem to help.

I know it gets pretty discouraging at times but I'm going to hang in there and keep trying. Hope you do too.

BTW Bill, thanks for sharing that tidbit with us. :)

Good luck everyone.
