So I was tinkering around with resetting Windows Update and I think deleting catroot and catroot2 is the culprit of my problem. I now cannot load Vista unless I F8 and skip driver signing.



I ran verifier and a whole list of vista system drivers are now no longer signed. I've looked around the internets and google and haven't found out the best way to fix this, so I'm looking for some help. Thanks.

It seems the security catalog is gone and thus the drivers cant be signed

I don't have the original discs either so my only hope is there is someway to find them online

i'm trying Microsoft FixIt right now

here are the list of drivers btw. Basically all the microsoft ones

have you tried bcdedit –set nointegritychecks ON or (bcdedit /set nointegritychecks ON)in an elevated command prompt till you get the issue sorted?

Its been a while since i needed this command im assuming its still good

EDIT..........just tried a google apparently it doesnt work anymore F8 is the only option
