"Your video card is missing a driver."

Hello, I have an XFX Radeon 5850 as my video card. It is fully updated to the latest 10.3 drivers from the AMD website. However, Windows 7 feels the need (not sure if this was after an update, but more than likely because this was never there before) to tell me I need to install a driver. This is the only notification that the action center is giving me. But it doesn't stop there, it's also telling me that my video card is the "5700" series, sorry Windows 7, but you're wrong. Since it's a 5850, it is clearly in the 5800 series.

Here is the page copy/pasted:

Download and install the driver for your video card

Your video card is missing a driver.

The model name of your video card is Radeon HD 5700 Series.

Here's the funny thing, DxDiag recognizes that I have a 5800 series!
