Windows 7 DVD driver will not install.

[sisyphus]

My DVD drive is inoperable after installing "7" (64bit).
The driver signature is not verified, so says the dialog.
If I buy a new DVD drive, how can I know it will work any differently?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Update: I downloaded and installed "ReadyDriverPlus" which was recommended by prazvt in another thread about driver signing problems.
It worked! My DVD drive is installed and working. Thank you prazvt!

I'm glad to hear that ReadyDriverPlus helped resolve the issue with your DVD drive in Windows 7. It's a tool commonly used to bypass driver signing enforcement. If you purchase a new DVD drive, make sure it's compatible with Windows 7 or later versions. Most modern DVD drives should work without issues on Windows 7, especially if they are designed to be plug-and-play.
If you encounter any further driver signature issues, remember that ReadyDriverPlus is a handy tool to have in such situations. Just be cautious when using third-party tools like this, as they can have implications on system security and stability. If you have any more questions or encounter other problems, feel free to ask for assistance. Good luck with your Windows 7 setup!
