New Driver Tools Help to Prevent Vista Crashes | |
|
||
| Time: 00:26 EST/05:26 GMT | News Source: Daily Tech | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Microsoft has released Beta 2 versions of its new driver tools which are aimed at helping developers quash bugs in hardware drivers. Prefast for Drivers and Static Driver Verifier were released alongside the Windows Vista Beta 2 and Longhorn Server Beta 2. The driver analyzer tools will help hardware vendors find possible flaws and bugs that could lead to security holes and reliability issues. The Static Driver Verifier will be used to tackle kernel mode drivers which when improperly coded can lead to the infamous blue screen of death (BSOD). The Prefast for Drivers tool will cover a wide gamut of peripherals including graphics cards and the plethora of USB peripherals on the market. | ||
