Anno 1701needs a signed driver for x64

[Colin Barnhorst]

Those of you considering 1701 for Vista, be aware that Sunflowers uses a
Copy Protection driver in 1701. The 64bit driver is not signed so the game
cannot run on Vista x64. I have posted on the Sunflowers forum asking them
to get a signed driver posted but so far nothing. They are not aware that
turning off signed drivers was a feature only for pre-released versions of
Vista.

All the advice I got on the Sunflowers forum was to disable signed driver
checking. They couldn't get it through their thick heads that Vista rtm has
that option disabled. They are still running beta 2 in that place.

Colin,

If you look, I'm sure there is a no-cd work around in place. Thus you can
pay for this product you legtimately purchased.

Where would I look for a no-cd workaround?

Not quite sure about the "legal" part of that place but you will surely find
no-cd "workarounds" for copy protected disks.
