Disable Driver Signature Enforcement

Vista 64-Bit enforces driver signature. While this is basically a gute
idea, it prevents me from installing VMware Server and ext2fsd, which
obviously contain unsigned components. I found the hint to press F8
during boot and choose the menu item "Disable Driver Signature
Enforcement" , but I still get the error message "Windows requires a
digitally signied driver ... deinstall the program ...".

Do I have to do anything else in order to (temporary) deactivate driver
signature enforcement?
