airman is on a distinguished road

There have been some BSOD for some installs of the new drivers and here is some info for the temp fix.




If you experience the blue screen after installing Catalyst 7.3 drivers and rebooting (the system usually blue screens right after a reboot), go into safe mode. Then:

1. Invoke the RUN command (either by clicking Start and Run, if you have Run enabled in the Start Menu, or by holding the Windows key and pressing R).
2. Type SERVICES.MSC and hit Enter.
3. Locate the service called ATI External Event Utility
4. Right-click it and select Properties
5. Under Startup type, pull the menu down and select Disabled.
6. Click Apply and OK.
7. Reboot. The computer should start up normally.

This process disables Catalyst Control Center's ability to auto-detect a hot-swapped display. In other words, if you plug in a monitor while the computer is on, the Catalyst software won't detect it. Makedon notes that if this workaround doesn't do the trick, you can simply use the Catalyst 7.2 drivers until AMD posts a fix.
