Still no joy for Windows 8 with 7.1M1

It's possible to disable Timeout Detection and Recovery --

Here's how to disable TDRs:

Open notepad (hit Windows-R and type "notepad"), copy in the 3 lines below, and save with a name like tdr2.reg on your desktop:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\GraphicsDrivers]
"TdrLevel"=dword:00000000

Then find the tdr2.reg file on your desktop and double click. You'll get two dialogs: one access control, and another about trusting the source. Say yes to both dialogs.

Once that's done, reboot to make the registry change take effect.
