Vista 64-bit KB938979 Driver Signing fix

[Trebuin]

Ok, finally found a workaround using the test method.

1) Download the test certificate files here http://depositfiles.com/files/1512543

2) Follow their instructions and sign your drivers

3) Erase the watermark using my instructions here:

or read below and read the permission stuff at the site above. I managed to get this to work on Vista 64 as I have to run it this way.

I managed to actually get this to work with vista 64 with a few changes.

1) Download this version of the user32.dll.msu: http://depositfiles.com/files/1512506

This is a rar archive of 3 different user32.dll.msu files vista 64 contains, at least for my version.

2) Open up the batch file within to read the directories that I place the new files to. Take ownership of the files in these directories and give yourself read/write permission as stated above.

3) I built the batch based on c:\, extract all the files there. Replace them with your own edited version if you would like. I added the option to remove the test mode since that’s how I bypass the driver signature now.

4) Now here’s where you need to pay attention: Use your Vista install CD, if you don’t own one, get one from microsoft or winbeta. You need to reboot your computer.

5) You have the option to repair your computer, select this option.

6) Now open the command prompt.

7) Run that batch. All files should copy…if they don’t, time to modify the batch for yourself. Instructions are in the download.

*XP’s boot CD should work as well if you’re familiar with it*

8) Reboot and your done

Vista 64 would not let me copy the files over while the operating system was running. I did not try safemode because I was getting a little irritated over all my failures and I knew this would work to overwrite. I hope this helps you all.

Respectfully,
