OclHashcat plus has stopped working.

Wow... what a ride man. Its been crazy. i'm not pointing the finger at Hashcat here, but I just wanted to post what has been going on with me and hashcat.

So ... it all started as in this thread.

1. Hascat in Windows keeps crashing

V
2. Install Backtrack.
2a. Have a hell of a time getting ATI drivers working properly in Backtrack but eventually succeed.
2b. Backtrack then tells me "Hashcat is out of date"
|
V
3. Install The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali).
3a.Have a hell of a time getting ATI drivers working properly in The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali), don't ever succeed.
|
V
4. Reinstall Windows. Hashcat works.

Not forgetting that each stage of the above is interspersed with maybe 2.5 - 3 hours of "tinkering" to try and get things to work.

Right now... i'm exhausted, and i hate linux. I'm not a noob, but nor am i a pro either. And i should have just saved my time and reinstalled windows striaght away. Instead of spending many hours trying to inject patches into drivers etc.

So... there we go.
