Correcting cgminer "Error -1: Getting Device IDs <num>"

Hi there,

Noob question here:

Every time I launch cgminer I get "Error -1: Getting Device IDs "

But then it mines just fine. However, I'm about to add a second 7950, and in order to tune the cards differently, I assume I need a way to reliably tell which card is which?

Is there a way for me to correct this error, so that cgminer always knows specifically which device is which?

e.g. If I want to set GPU clock differently for each card, this could cause problems if cgminer makes one gpu device 0 one time, and the same gpu device 1 another time, right?

I'm on Windows 7 with Gigabyte 7950's

Thanks!
