Default Vista 64bit driver signing.

Correct, this is why i ran the Command Promp as a Administrator and typed the
following 'bcdedit.exe /set advancedoptions on'. This enables Vista to start
with the advanced options (no F8 required) so you can select disable driver
signature enforcement each time you start your system.

Correct. It does not survive a restart.

AFAIK the ability to install a unsigned driver only worked for the single
boot as you say. But are you also saying that any unsigned drivers during
a single F8 boot will not work after you later do a normal boot?

That is not a persistent measure. On release to rtm the persistence of
F8 was disabled. F8 is required on every boot. Also, MS has responded
in recent months to the workarounds to permit persistence that have shown
up with both kernel updates and Windows Defender updates to disable the
persistent loading of unsigned drivers.

If you do an F8 boot in Vista 64 one of the options is to load unsigned
drivers.

Vista x64 drivers must be signed.

news The vendors normally do not want to send all versions of their
software to MS to get them digitally signed due to the cost and time
delay involved. There is nothing to prevent software that is not
digitally signed from being installed and working.

If I have a driver for a device that functions properly, but it is
not
digitally signed, is there any way to submit to Microsoft for them
to test
and sign said driver? or do something to make vista use the driver?
Right
now I have Vista start up and display the advanced startup options
and I
select disable driver signature enforcement. This is no big deal
but it
would be nice if I could avoid this step.

Thanks
