ATI Catalyst 8.12 Hotfix Released - Corrects Radeon HD 4850 CrossFire X Mode in Vista
ATI programmers have released a hotfix that corrects the black screen and boot OS failure when Catalyst 8.12 is installed on Windows Vista, and two or more ATI Radeon HD 4850 video cards are working in CrossFire X mode. This issue only occurs when two or more ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphic cards are installed in the system with ATI CrossFireX technology. One single ATI Radeon HD 4850 card will not encounter this issue. To download the hotfix for both Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit, please click here.

I haven't been impressed with this driver set, they better sort the 9.1's or I'll piss and moan some more.
What I really want fixed is these god damn memory leaks in GTA IV PLEASE!!
So if i put the 8.11 the card function very well and crossfire enable by default after installation
I have the same system spec's as you and i have my 2 - 3870x2 running in crossfirex on 8.12
I did get the incompatible display driver also at first but my problem was i downloaded the XP 64bit version of the driver instead of the Vista 64bit version.
Could be you have the wrong driver.

Remember Installing ontop of previous drivers causes more headaches.
I have P6T Deluxe, latest 1003 BIOS. Crossfire doesn't work at all w/ these new drivers.
If this bug is Asus's MB issue, then why would 8.10 work fine on the same MB, BIOS, and settings?
Some have contacted Asus also. ATI really needs to do better testing before releases. I do realize they can't test all configurations, but these issues should be owned by ATI, it's their product that'll take the hit.
**EDIT**
Fixed somwhere along the lines i must have installed somthing that maybe corrupted the driver did a system restore reinstalled the driver and it seems to be working fine very smooth.
