Tech-Recipes: Vista: Disable the Digital Driver Signing Enforcement | Microsoft Vista | Tech-Recipes

    This no longer works after SP1. The annoying thing with this is my main firewall is Peer Guardian, now thanks to Microsoft I am no longer as secure on my computer as Peer Guardian are refusing to pay Microsoft's rip off fees for driver authentication. I notice there are other ways round this like to put the system into testing mode, but surely this is making the system even more insecure, which Microsoft should be evading. This option should have been left in so people who know what they are doing with Windows are allowed to play around with it, I suppose this is why a lot of technicians are abandoning Windows and going to Linux, which at least you can disable the protection.

    Not so sure I agree with Darren, I have Vista Ultimate 64 sp1 and the command worked. I didn't get a driver to install but I'm trying to install a 32-bit driver in Vista 64 - not possible without getting a new driver I believe. Thanks for the tip!

    these are completely two different things
    Installing a 32bit driver Might or might not work, regardless of the command
