Rebooting with Catalyst 3.1?

[DOA]

More comments follow from RivaTuner creator, Alexey Nikolaychuk AKA Unwinder.

"…To all having problems with Bugcheck 0x8E (self-reboot in 2D with Catalyst 3.1 after script installation). We found another trap embedded by ATI programmers. They’ve added spontaneous reboots for SoftR9x00 patching... It’s now obviated.

Create a NEW SoftR9x00 file w2k.rts with the following strings and then just run it:

[Common]
SrcFile = ati2mtag.sys
BakFile = ati2mtag.old
HlpFile = SoftR9x00.rth
MakeCRC = 1
Packed = 1

;common script for 629x+

DstVar0 = force RADEON 9700 capabilities
DstVar1 = force RADEON 9500 capabilities

Src0 = C1 E8 10 3B 46 10 74
Dst0_0 = C1 E8 10 3B 46 10 EB
Dst0_1 = C1 E8 10 3B 46 10 EB

Src1 = 6A 01 68 C0 03 00 00 FF B6 00 00 00 00 E8 00 00 00 00
SCM1 = FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 FF 00 00 00 00
Dst1_0 = 66 8B 46 04 66 25 F0 F0 66 0D 04 0E 66 89 46 04 90 90
Dst1_1 = 66 8B 46 04 66 25 F0 F0 66 0D 04 01 66 89 46 04 90 90

Src2 = 8B 56 10 C1 E2 10 25 FF FF 00 00 03 D0 89
Dst2_0 = 8B 56 10 C1 E2 10 25 FF FF FF FF 89 C2 89
Dst2_1 = 8B 56 10 C1 E2 10 25 FF FF FF FF 89 C2 89
Num2 = 2
This solved all problems in the system I tried this on."

This is for those who are having spontaneous reboots with the 3.1 drivers. I knew ATI would come out with a "fix" for the software 9500-9700 mod. But Unwinder has come up with the work around. This kind of reminds me of DirectTV vs the hackers.
