7.9 hotfix using XP w/hd 2900XT disables 1680x1050 Resolution

I have tried a few games and 1680x1050 is no longer a selectable option. Even when i try to force it the game reverts back to 640x480. The games that were already set to 1680x1050 have reverted back to 640x480.
Games affected:
World in Conflict
Team Fortress 2
CS:S
etc
Also, using the Display Properties, 1680x1050 is also missing from Screen Resolution. What that means is that I can no longer change my desktop to 1680x1050.

What the heck is going on? This didn't happen with the other 7.9 drivers!

I reverted back to Cat 7.9 (normal) and 1680x1050 returned to my games and screen resolutions from display properties.
