Right, that works on a beta, but from what I've read the final release (RTM) won't load unsigned drivers.. period.

http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_ff_x64.asp

"Additionally, Windows Vista x64 versions require that all drivers be digitally signed by the developer. If you've ever installed a driver in Windows XP, you'll likely be familiar with the unsigned driver dialog, which offers a "Continue Anyway" option when a setup application attempts to load an unsigned driver . In the x64 versions of Windows Vista, this will not be possible. Microsoft says that it is requiring signed drivers so that it can ensure that drivers are of the highest possible quality; poorly-written drivers are, today, still the leading causes of blue screens and other system instability issues."

bcdedit works around that limitation, but will it work on the RTM version as well.. are you using a beta or have you got your hands on the final release (RTM) somehow?

Just installed Tweak VI and BCDedit comes with it... just applied it... I need to reboot and see if it works... lets cross our fingers...

I can't figure out how to use easyBCD.. :(

Maybe it works and i'm just retarded, i'm sure that some here would agree with that on face value.. ;) but, you CAN get around the "unsigned driver" issue by pressing F8 during boot and choose don't check for signed drivers or whatever, its toward the bottom of the choices..

If you notice CPU-z normally DOES NOT run on 64bit Vista RTM.. also speedfan works doing the F8 trick ;)

It has the option to run them when you boot you need to press F8 and choose "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" & hit Enter.

I'm not sure how to make this an automated process... thats what I'm working on, but since it's a feature built in, its just a setting that i can't figure out how to do, it must be something with the bootloader/BCDedit, I know the command is

bcdedit.exe -set nointegritychecks ON

to use an unsigned driver... not sure how to edit the boot.ini or whatever... file... yet... hmmm still working on it.. should be doable though.
