Beware Catalyst 10.7 and ATI 48xx series vid cards!

I just recently installed the new edition of ATI's Catalyst software/drivers (10.7 beta) and started experiencing problems with my games. Specifically, Fallen Earth mmorpg and Plants vs. Zombies. In Fallen Earth, which has played outstandingly on this card for a year now, began showing flickering foliage on the ground and in places it should not be. Plants vs. Zombies ( a 2D game in 3D mode) started going completely black and would flash on the screen briefly all while the game continued to progress. I found several other people on the Fallen Earth forums experiencing the exact same problem. My fix was to do a system restore. Luckily, I had one restore point from 4 days ago and it restored successfully. There were no other system restore points listed, so if the restore point hadn't worked, I might have been in trouble.

Mobo: Asus M3A78-EM AM2+
Proc: Phenom II X4 940 BE (overclocked to 3.5ghz)
Grfx: ATI Radeon HD 4870 1gb
Mem: 4gb Patriot extreme performance
HDD: WD Cavier 1TB w/64mb buffer
OPsys: Windows 7 Premium Home edition (system builders $89)

After this experience, I realize that I'd like Windows 7 to create a restore point daily. Can anyone tell me how to get Windows 7 to do that automatically? Also, I'd like windows 7 to save at least 5 or 10 previous restore points just in case a problem isn't discovered immediately upon changing something. Ideas?
