Nobody is required to pay Microsoft to sign their drivers. During development you can use either F8 as mentioned or run with the kernel debugger attached.

If you are shipping code to end users, you are required to obtain a software publishing certificate from a commerical cert authority, there a several to choose from depending on your locale and the process is the similar to what developers have needed to for other applications for years now (secure web sites, activex controls, etc.)

You know what makes Windows the best operating system? The unlimited freedom of options and features – thanks to software developers. You can always go to some big software site and download thousands of applications and mostly do anything on the PC. That’s why we all like it and use it.

Most of the software developers are hobbyists’ developers and small companies. Making software now is more difficult than ever, besides of the economy crisis, we have like six active Windows operating systems (and two coming up soon) to support. To get our system-level files to work on Vista and above, we need certificates and access to MSDN, which costs a lot of money and time. Software developers aren't bureaucrats.

I’m sure multi-millionaires companies like Adobe can afford it… they charge too much many money for their products. But for guys like us, it’s impossible! I know a lot of non-commercial software developers that link to DSEO just to avoid the ridiculous procedure and the fees. Besides, why the hell do we have to pay fees to make Microsoft’s operating system better?

I understand the need of the driver signature enforcement feature and these security reasons behind it. But Microsoft should treat hobbyists/open source/small companies better. I don’t care if big corporations have to pay, I’m sure they don’t have any problem with it, but non-commercial software developers should get FREE access to MSDN and get certificates for FREE, especially now with all these economy issues.

M$ is doing this because they copy the same logic of apple. Not everybody can make an Mac APP .. why because it need to be tested and be bug free and support every apple computer. Personaly ... this kind of protection is nice because the main problem in the PC nowadays is the incompatibility between the software and the hardware. It's sure it can be an PITA for alot of you guys but if it can make an better O/S and less BSOD (another pita for us) . Personaly i will not say no...

I have an Xbox Controller-S that I use with my computer in conjunction with the user-made XBCD driver. If I don't force windows into test signing mode I have to press F8 at boot in order for my controller to function. The XBCD driver itself is not malicious and stable for the most part (nothing is perfect, of course). I've used fully signed, commercial drivers far more buggy than some of the unsigned user-made drivers I've used over the years. I wouldn't care if it was enabled by default but advanced users could turn it off, but forcing it on is asinine.

Free? huh? If I had extra $895 bucks, I'd spend it on a new washing machine, since current one is broken or new server. I say use DSEO and save your money.. get your wife a new ring or something; if you don't have a wife, I'm sure you can get one with $895 bucks.

Right...
Some developers are on a limited budget, I for example am a student, and I don't have the funds to buy a certificate for $400/year. As you have said, nobody is required to pay Microsoft, that's true, but this doesn't make whoever has to pay this amount to somebody else feel any better, or save them the money.

In my case, I was lucky to have gotten help signing the driver for use in my software from a company I've dealt with.
From my point of view, freeware is affected by this a lot.
People put their free time and effort into creating something and then sharing it with the rest of us for no charge, and they are forced to PAY a 3rd party company to obtain this certificate so others can actually use their software.

I personally don't make a profit from Core Temp, it doesn't pay my bills. Let's assume I didn't have somebody else helping me with the driver signing process, and I still wanted to make my work available to others. I'd have to pay some company, which I have never heard about before, $400/year to license a certification tool. In my opinion this is ridiculous.
It is a mystery to me why Microsoft doesn't provide such tools free of charge for non-commercial use or at least to "Hobbyist" programmers who release their work for free for the benefit of the community?

its like with nokia and iphone all need certificate
hate that....

Thanks to this tool I can finally run Peerguardian 2 without issues in Vista x64.

PS: The link in the download page goes to driverscanner 2009, not sure if that was intentional.

Who can help me?

doesn't seem to work on 7600 x64 rtm, have disabled UAC, enabled test mode and removed the watermark already.

tried signing hidusbf.sys and the driver for PCI Latency Tool, but they both remain unsigned upon rebooting.

so after rebooting, should i switch back to disable test mode or this will cause the driver signature error back for ati tray tools?
