Catalyst breaks Vista Crossfire
,----[ Quote ]
| DAAMIT IS IN a bit of a pickle over Crossfire and its newly-released 8.12
| Catalyst software. Apparently, users are flooding the support forums with
| complaints of crashes, BSODs and inability to boot into Vista.
|
| If you invested in Crossfire, you're likely to have blown a fair wad of cash
| and you won't be too happy to hear about this. When you installed the 8.12
| Catalyst driver, you might've found yourself with a slight BSOD or black
| screen at Windows boot problem... slight being an understatement.

| Whilst Microsoft claimed to have closed off that exploit for the final
| release of Vista, there are still plenty of ways to attack Windows Vista and
| install malicious rootkits, which her presentation yesterday proved. By using
| the Nvidia driver as a proxy for writing code to the kernel, she showed how a
| rootkit was able to bypass Vista's kernel protection system, which claims to
| prevent unsigned and unreliable code causing problems.
