ProclaimDragon Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I have a very old TV Tuner card and I just found a few drivers for Vista x64 that worked fine to capture video (that's what I want it for) but I had to disable driver signing. Although, this leaves me with the "Test Mode" label on the desktop. Any easy way to remove this label? The only way I could find involved too many steps to remove it... If I can't find a better way, I'll just leave driver signing enabled and disable it whenever I need to use the capture device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted December 24, 2008 MVC Share Posted December 24, 2008 How did you disable driver signing requirement? bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS As to the test mode - From a simple google And another tid-bit for those who wish to remove the Test Mode watermark: Quote: Open up Regedit and navigate to the following keys: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\CA\Certificates\FEE449EE0E3965A5246F000E87FDE2A065FD89D4] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\ROOT\Certificates\2BD63D28D7BCD0E251195AEB519243C13142EBC3] And delete the pair of them, reboot and lo and behold dodgy testing message has vanished!

ProclaimDragon Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hum, what I found was way more complicated than that... It even involved booting with the Vista DVD and going to the command prompt, change *.mui files, etc... I did this to allow unsigned drivers installation: bcdedit /set testsigning on Any different from your suggestion? There's also bcdedit /set oslnointegritychecks on, are they all different? I know that the one I used worked fine and I could use the capture driver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted December 24, 2008 MVC Share Posted December 24, 2008 Well there are quite a few methods out there.. some work before SP1 and before certain updates, etc.. From the way I read the thread where reg files to remove the test mode thing was it, shouldn't matter. Have tried readydriver ?? here http://citadel.x10hosting.com/readydriverplus/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProclaimDragon Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 From ReadyDriver's website I couldn't find/understand what exactly does it do... I have yet to test your reg fix suggestion though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted December 24, 2008 MVC Share Posted December 24, 2008 It allows you to use unsigned drivers in Vista x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProclaimDragon Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 But I can do that by one of those bcdedit commands and I'm thinking in what ReadyDriver is better from those commands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProclaimDragon Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 I was having some issues playing some files on Media Center x64 when I realized that the filters/codecs I was using were for 32bits and there are no builds for 64bits. That made me reinstall Windows x86 instead and the problem is no gone of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
