Now that Microsoft has made x64 driver signing mandatory, this is good information.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the link.

They charge too much.  Disabling the driver signature enforcement seems to cost much more less.  :bg

I didn't know that was an option.

Hi Greg,

Thanks, I am doing fine. How are you?

Here are some references :

Turn Off Driver Signing Enforcement in Windows 7 (http://www.thegeekprofessor.com/tips-and-tricks/hacks/windows7/turn-off-driver-signing-enforcement-in-windows-7)

Disable driver signature enforcement permanetly at boot-up, how? (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/5e048b0f-83b2-4281-b5e9-533ef3de564d)

Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider (http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo)

I didn't test the methods above but I believe the Disable Driver Signature Enforcement option in the Windows startup F8 menu should solve the problem.

Vortex,

I don't know if I'll have much use for it, but it's good to know about. Thanks.
