Basically it's only necessary to use the Ati Catalyst Install Manager. Access that via Start/ Control Manager/ Uninstall or Change (Win 7). Highlight the above Manager and click Change, then select the Express uninstall option in the resulting window. Once complete carry out the requested reboot.
Once rebooted, find the new Catalyst Install.exe (that you downloaded before the above, right? ) and execute. Allow the process to run, allow the new folder to be created, and then reboot when asked to. This should bring you back to the previous settings of your desktop.
There is no need to mess with registry settings or manual deletions - this can cause more problems than it solves.

Thanks Brando, but please believe me when I say that I can reliably introduce or repair the issue, with the sole change being driver version. I am installing properly, take my word for it I see that you are still doing your best to help people out, and I appreciate it

What surprises me is that apparently nobody else reading my description has the same issue. This was the topic of a request for tech support from ATI that was on SIMHQ (I think) a while back. I'm hardly the only one seeing this issue or using this method to resolve it. Using 10.9 or 10.10 (Now I'll have to try 10.11!) the only program I have installed that has an issue is Il2, and the bug is the blocky text bug. Removing drivers completely and then reinstalling 10.8 reliably resolves the issue
