Default Wacky ATI Driver Issue.

alright ive been having trouble getting my drivers to work right. so lets start by a list of O/S and Driver 9.1x ive tried.

Windows Vista 64-bit, 9.10 - would not install
Windows Vista 64-bit, 9.11 - would install but crashes when doing any 3d app
Windows 7 64-bit, 9.10 - would not install
Windows 7 64-bit, 9.11 - would install but crashes when doing any 3d app
Windows XP Pro 32-bit, 9.10 - would not install
Windows XP Pro 32-bit, 9.11 - Installed. and works BUT every other restart one of the video cards idles at 99% load and it can take almost an hour of restarting to fix this.

Now Ive tried both the Drives ( 9.10 ) off the Disk and the ones off the website. im using dual sapphire 5770s ( NO OC ) and using Two Crossfire bridge cables. PLEASE NOTE when i tried using only 1 Crossfire bridge cable. Windows 7 crashed on me as soon as it tried enabling crossfire and XP had random game crashes as well.

now as of right now im not that upset because the drivers will work ( 9.11 ) on XP. it sucks im stuck with DX9 tho. has anyone else seen problems like this? anyone know of some fixs for Win 7? ( i dont really are about vista it was for testing ) and WHEN will either 9.11 drivers be updated and or done?
thanks

Since it's the 11th month of 2009, I'd expect to see 9.11 any day now.

Beyond that, I can't help

I assume you cleaned the old drivers with DriverSweeper?

reformat your comp, then plug in only ONE card, then installe drivers, restart, then shut down, put in the second card and ur cf bridge, once u boot up u enable cf and ur done, no need for restarts after that
