What are you trying to fix? Vista doesn't dislike unsigned drivers; it's
rather an unemotive OS. However, Microsoft have recognised that the majority
of poor drivers are unsigned and almost all malicious drivers are unsigned;
so with Vista x64 they have started to encourage you to use reputable
software by only allowing signed drivers. If this is an overwhelming problem
for you, you can downgrade to Vista x86 or XP.
Thanks I am running Vista Ultimate x86. I asked is because I check the
Event log often. Performance wise it is a factor for me. I guess it is a
driver problem not a driver signing problem only. I wnat to narrow down
which drivers affect boot time.

Vista x86 doesn't require driver signing. Whatever problem you have isn't
going to be about signing anyway, though perhaps you might have problems
with the drivers themselves.
Not only that, but Vista-64 won't even accept them.
One person previously mentioned taking the driver in question and signing it
yourself.
Something about using a driver SDK (Software Development Kit). I don't
know - I don't write drivers.
All the drivers I do have are signed.
Thanks for the replies, everyone, that solved the problem. Now I got to find
the driver(s) that cause longer than usual boot time or short pauses in
booting.
