Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider 1.1
Posted by Regeneration on December 2nd, 2008, 05:41 AM

Microsoft did well releasing Service Pack 1, but somehow they forgot end users when they introduced a very restricted module of driver signature enforcement. In laymen’s terms, all drivers and system files must be digitally verified or they cannot run when using both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Vista. In the past, it was possible to turn that feature off; but due to new kernel security updates, it is impossible to turn it off without degrading security and stability of your operating system or putting your master boot records in risk by using other software alternatives.

So what is the problem with digital certificates? Well, the problem is… developers have to pay Microsoft to receive verified certificates, and that makes many applications inaccessible under Windows Vista. This driver signature enforcement can be a serious pain to end-users; however, it is still possible to turn it off by disabling it up by pressing the F8 function key during system boot up.

Pressing F8 every time on boot up can be a serious pain in the ass and frustrating to those that miss the time window available to press F8 during start up. Others have found workarounds, but most of them are too risky and may trash your master boot records and some were too complicated for the average user to perform, at least until now - thanks to our latest tool.

I don't follow or understand this. I've used beta drivers under Vista 32-bit without any problem and I also have SP1 installed.

Interesting, but, for me it seems irrelevant. I guess I'll remember this if I run into driver signature restrictions at some point.

Even non-WHQL beta drivers have digital certificates.

I thought the restrictions were only on the 64bit versions.

What are the differences between the previous version and this newer version? I've used the 1.0 version on Vista 64-bit with SP1, and it worked pretty well so far as I could tell.

Support for Vista 32-bit and several minor bugfixes.
