The 2 problems are probably not related .. if you must have "certified" drivers ( a microsoft designation) download a set that are listed as MS WHQL.. this is the MS certified version .. I have been using all kinds of certified and uncertified versions of Det 3's and except for airwarrior 3 MV all of them seem to work ok (some better than others) I suspect your problems regarding the crashes are from some other cause
