Hi, I was hoping to use the legacy drivers to enable crossfire use between my on board HD4250 card and discreet HD3450, but unfortunately the driver prevents the Video Metro App from working. HTML5 video in IE10 is also affected.Steps to reproduce:Start with a fresh installOpen Metro "Videos" AppSearch for Promethius 10 minute preview, stream/download and watchResult: It works as expected.Install Legacy Catalyst 12.6 drivers and rebootOpen the Metro Video app and try to watch the video againResult: A black creen with spinning beads and the text "Starting..." - no video ever startsUninstall Legacy Catalyst 12.6 drivers and rebootOpen the Metro Video app and try to watch the video againResult: Works as expected.Alternative test. Check http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody/test.html in Metro IE10 with and without Catalyst 12.6 installed. Without it Big Buck Bunny H264 plays, with the catalyst drivers installed no video plays.H264 video in Desktop mode with Windows Media Player seems unaffected.
