Requires signed drivers... program may not work properly

Well then. How bout that? I should have just gotten Vista 32bit. I just tried to install a program on Vista and Vista turned up it's nose.
Sorry Dwayne, but I refuse to install this driver. It hasn't been signed!

And I replied with, You fool, this is a legit program, there's nothing wrong with it. It will work just fine. Install it.

And vista says to me, Well I don't want to.

Then I replied with, do it anyway. Your my computer, my operating system, you do what I say.

And then Vista laughed.

Is there a work around that I can set up to get Vista to install these "unsigned drivers"?

you have to run Vista with the option to allow for unsigned drivers - reboot, hit F8 repeatedly until you get the Vista menu, and select (I beleive) Allow Vista to use unsigned drivers.

Be warned, though that this is something you'll have to do *every time* you boot.

Blaaaaaah. That's a pain. Come to think of it, I do believe I've heard that somewhere before... Can't remember where though and I had completely forgotten about it.

Yeah, it is - but I figured I better warn you now then you get it working and then reboot only to have it not work again....
