Test Signed driver #12

on windows 7 and the latest vista service pack, you currently can only use the 
driver if you press the f8 button.

however, it is possible to sign a driver for testing, and make it so that the 
drivers are run properly if you edit your boot record for windows to allow for 
fake-signing/test signing

you would need to run cmd and use the following comand:

     bcdedit

then you would need to use the the "identifier" for "Windows Boot Loader" in 
the next 2 commands:

     bcdedit /set [identifier] testsigning on
     bcdedit /set [identifier] loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

you'll see a watermark on the desktop saying "testing mode"

you can then use the test-signing system to make the driver run (and you will 
never have to use f8 again  to use the driver)

i  personally used the Driver Signing Enforcement Overrider (found here: 
http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=Files&go=cat&dwn_cat_id=34 ) to sign the 
driver with a test signature.

that first command dumps the boot loader settings (and bcdedit doesn't modify 
the boot record... it modifies the boot *loader*)

I have some problem with "bcdedit" on Win7 x64, and I try install PPJoy 0.8.4.6 
to force open the testing-mode. PPJoy install will open testing-mode and you 
will not need install PPJOY after testing-mode enabled. But some anti-virus 
software will report PPJOY is a virus, so try at your own risk, but I don't 
think PPJOY is a virus.

@m17: you don't need to use ppjoy. most computers allow access through the main 
machine. however, many computer manufacturers have taken to moving the boot 
loader settings to a recovery volume. just run the repair option (NOT safe 
mode) found in the f8 menu, then use the command prompt on there (bcdedit is 
part of windows vista/win7)
