If you are running two ATI Radeon HD4850 cards from different vendors, e.g
ASUS and PowerColor. You would encounter a problem trying to detect the
cards in VISTA. This happens if you install Catalyst 8.12 driver.

The two cards will be installed accordingly. When you try to enable
CrossFire, it will prompt you an error message that one of the card is not
functioning and will be disabled.

We went on to troubleshoot both cards and they are found to be in working
condition.

Despite all the installing and uninstalling even a fresh Vista32, the same
problem persists.

At a last resort, we uninstall, rebooted and installed Catalyst 8.8 and
everything works perfectly.

It might be an isolated case but it might just happen to your system. So
don't panic. It is just a driver issue.
