Recently installed windows 7 on a friends computer, and didnt realize that he has a netgear pci wireless card, of which there are no windows 7 compatible drivers. now, ive found a workaround, installed some 3rd party drivers, but you have to have digital driver signing turned off. the only problem is i cant get it to stay turned off. it works just fine going into the f8 menu at boot and turning it off, but after a restart the card drivers stop working

ive used easybcd which has an option to disable the driver signing, same issue, have used the following commands, bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS and bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON, no help, have even gone into gpedit.msc and disabled the driver signing but to no avail

at this point im starting to pull my hair out trying to get this to work, any suggestions?

I was using it on Vista for a driver that wasn't signed, it worked :shrug: (I didn't like the watermark for running windows in test mode, though, and didn't feel like doing the watermark bypass included, so I eventually just slapped the device on the XP computer in the livingroom)

I used the same tool to use a beta 64-bit driver for a RAID card on Win7 x64. It worked well. The watermark didn't bother me since it was a machine whose desktop was rarely visible.

Indeed, and as I mentioned, there is a bypass option included in the program. I just couldn't be bothered to use it since I had a perfectly good XP computer in the livingroom (It's a USB dongle that I don't use often, so after 2 days of test mode I figured it was easier to just use the livingroom computer with it when I needed to use it)
