Have you been here:
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GPU-2-ATICatalystSuiteDriverXP.aspx
which mentions the following requirements:
?Administrator privileges
?Microsoft .NET framework
?Microsoft Direct X 9.0 or higher
?Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or higher

I have never had, and can't find anything specifically related to, your
issue, but see you've been asking around quite a bit. The thread at HTFC
pretty much covered anything I would have suggested. I've been using ATI
since the AIW was new, and never came across that same problem.
Have you used the Group Policy Editor? Maybe a corruption in a setting
somewhere?

It's a home PC, i've been the only user until recently (the driver
issue was apparent prior to this), and i've never used the policy
editor - i'm not even sure it exists in XP home !

I'm pretty much at the stage where i've got about 100Gb to back up,
and might just wipe the lot and start again - i've done well to be
fair, it'll be the first time it's been wiped from new (almost 4
years, which is a record for most machines)
