Windows Windows 7 Home Premiuim Disabling Driver Signing

Hi Guys,

Need to disable driver signing on a Windows 7 Home Premium machine.

Have tried the Group Policy Work and the command line edit but neither have worked.

Has anyone tried or managed to get it disabled?

Thanks,

Pbear23

 

If these dont work on the command line (run as administrator)

bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

Try using easybcd which provides a gui to do it for you..

Dont know if this works for 32bit mind.

 

The question I ask, is why do you need to disable it?
Having this enabled, prevents rootkits attacks, and viruses which uses a driver to attack your computer.

 

when you switch on the PC click the tab button to go into post screen then click F8 and scroll down to disable drive signing .

@ GoodBytes, My son uses this feature for running emulators and for some PSP hacks thats can't be used with window driver signing.

 

Yup, but you have to do every-time you urn on the computer. So don't turn it off.

 

Have tried the command line, group policy and registry directly before posting and to no avail.

It is on a family members machine, is running an emulation and so needs it to be disabled.

Might get him to run a virtual machine for this instead.

 

was just about to suggest a virtual machine

 

here pbear.. used this on vista since early 2008- it works great

you can use easybcd to remove it or disable it

I've also had a problem before installing Realtek drivers on a Vista machine, the driver signing issue simply wouldn't let me do it no matter how many times I told it to, and apparently it's a common glitch.
