Vista SP1 and Samsung monitors

A warning to any of you out there running the (excellent) Samsung monitor calibration program, MagicTune.

When SP1 finally appeared on Auto Update for Euro users, my system bluescreened on restart with a "page fault in non-paged area" error. The guilty file was mtictwl.sys, which is a component part of the above program. A quick trawl of the interwebs proved that it's happening to everyone with this program.

MagicTune worked fine with Vista - SP1 has bust it. Uninstalling cures the bluescreen, but leaves you without the program.

Thanks for the heads up, my Samsung 22 inch is here tomorrow so I'll be sure not to install that dumb program (not that I was going to anyway, but just in case).

The program is great
It's SP1 to blame.

This is not SP1 or Microsoft's fault, Magic tune programmers should just have released a patch for SP1, the beta of SP1 was around for ages and there is no valid excuse for not preparing for it.
