How to disable permanently the driver signature enforcement feature in Vista Ultimate x64

[Guest]

Hi guys, does any one knows how to disable the driver enforcement feature in
Vista X64?

I did run the following command but the feature is steel working:
Bcdedit.exe - set no integritychecks ON.
The feature is a pain in the us when trying to use beta drivers, and these
drivers are the vast mayority in this moment.

Any help is welcome

Thank you

At the moment, you can not. Well, the hackers have figured it
out, but no mainstream program can do that, yet. ProNetworks
is supposedly coming out with a version of VistaBootPro that
will do that. We'll see.

F8 during startup. youll get an option to disable it but only for that
session

Thanks Troy, but I was asking for a permanent solution.

The only permanent solution currently available is to sign drivers in
question yourself. You can follow documents below to sign your drivers with
test certificates and configure Vista to accept them:

Digital Signatures for Kernel Modules on Systems Running Windows Vista:

As a side note it's hardware vendor responsibility to sign Vista x64 drivers
they make publicly available (beta or not - doesn't matter).

f8 on bootup. Select it from the startup menu.

This lets you install unsigned drivers, and then on subsequent reboots,
you can still use the unsigned drivers, correct?

killallspammers,

Have a serious question, and a comment:

Will you let this Forum know your results for attempting to force alien
not-certified drivers into Vista x64?

Simply, I'm curious because I don't think you will succeed because most
likely after one, maybe two re-boots, Vista x64 will self-remove alien
not-certified drivers; regardless, you have aroused my curiosity.

Correct. Driver signing enforcement is suspended only until the next
restart.

Before we get to disabling driver-signing checking -a very bad idea, by the
way- may we know more about the situation?

By what you wrote, It is my understanding that you have an HP laptop that
ran Vista home edition, 64 bit. You 'upgraded' that to Vista Ultimate, 64
bit version some way or other and used a utility called "Driver Genius" to
copy drivers from the 64 bit Home Edition system to the 64 bit Ultimate
system.

Now, did these drivers work with the Home system either with driver-signing
checking on? 0r off?

Exactly how did you install the Ultimate system? Is it now dual booting with
the 32 bit system? running in a virtual machine? ...?

I do not understand your reference to Vista boost. This is a system intended
for use with certain USB 'thumb drives to speed system operation. It can be
useful for systems which have 1 GB or less system memory.

OK. I think I have it now. Thanks.

If you could provide a list of those items which are not working,
manufacturer and model numbers, perhaps we could hunt down the appropriate
drivers for installation. I don't know how the utility you are using goes
about its business but it is probable that those divers will not install
properly that way.

Usually, you can go to the HP website section for your laptop, and download
the needed drivers.
Had you listed the exact HP model & possibly a P/N, you might have gotten a
reply with the appropriate download web page URL.
