Crashing, trying to enable Vertical Sync

On the test server I crash consistently, when I try to enable 'Vertical Sync'.

I have an ATI Radeon 5770 with the Catalyst 10.4 drivers.
I know there were issues with this card when changing some graphical settings, but I thought they had been worked out.

I have tried doing the change while in a mission, so graphical stress should be as low as possible, but with same result.

So, is this just current state?
And if so, does anyone know how to enable 'Vertical Sync' on test?
I have considered just changing the regedit key for 'UseVSync' from 0 to 1, but not sure if that will do the trick.

I had the same problem with my 5870.
When i17 went live, I was using the 10.3 or 10.4 drivers. When I initially configured UM, I disabled vsync. I had some lag/graphics issues and was trying different settings and tried enabling vsync but it crashed every time I clicked enable.
I haven't had the problem since I rolled back to 10.1, enabled vsync, a patch went to live, I went back to 10.4. I'm pretty sure I can disable and enable vsync now without crashing, not really sure since I was able to enable it and stopped messing with settings.
