Vista 64 and Unsigned Drivers

Hi All,

Anyone know of a current workaround for the installation of unsigned drivers
in Vista 64 bit versions?

I know there were workarounds on pre-release and Beta versions, but is there
one for full retail product?

Thanks

Ridesy

F8 at the vista boot menu screen and select the driver signing bypass option, second from bottom if I remember correctly.

Since 64 bit requires signed drivers, this has to be done at every boot.
Hopefully over time, the required signed drivers will become available.

Here is a way to get around it :
http://www.vistarip.com/e107_plugins....php?0.cat.3.8
It uses group policy to disable the code signing for device drivers.

Hope this helps!

Mike:
Final solution, no F8 needed.
"If you want to be able to use the driver all the time without having to
use f8 on every reboot then run this command at an elevated command prompt

Bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING ON

you should get operation completed successfully
no need for f8 any more"

Carlos
P.S.: You'll get a "test mode" indication on the four corners of your screen
(already got used to it).
