I have a 1900xt and a 1950XT which I am running in software Crossfire using cat 7.4.

The reason I am still using 7.4s is that this was the last Cat driver that would work with software Crossfire on my set up.

Up until saturday it was perfect, the few games I play run at decent framerates (1680x1050), but ever since then every time I restart I get a message saying:

'the catalyst control centre is not supported by the driver version of your enabled graphics adapter'

And I have to either reinstall the drivers or do a system restore, then its fine until the next restart. Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it? I haven't changed anything at all so the only place I can see the problem coming from is a windows update thats automatically installed.

Well I cleaned all the drivers off and tried the latest ones, Catalyst Control Centre broke the .net framework.

Removed the framework and drivers, reinstalled both and had the same issue. Ended up cleaning the drivers off and putting 7.4s on again, worked until I restarted the pc then the same error as before.

It seems to occur after windows update installs the 'Software Distribution Service 3', so I have turned off automatic updates.
