Windows 7 Solution for DVD Driver Signing Issue

[sisyphus]

I have found that the driver signing problem can be bypassed with a single command:

bcdedit.exe -set testsigning_on

This works without having to do a complete Fresh Install and will not bog down the boot process.

Enabling test signing mode using the "bcdedit" command can indeed help bypass driver signature verification in Windows 7, allowing the installation of unsigned drivers without fully disabling the signature checking process. Here's how you can use this command to enable test signing mode: 1. Open Command Prompt with Administrator Privileges: - Click on the Start button. - In the search box, type cmd. - Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator. 2. Enable Test Signing: - In the Command Prompt window, type the following command:

 bcdedit.exe -set testsigning on

- Press Enter to execute the command. 3. Check Test Signing Status: - To verify that test signing mode is enabled, you can use the following command:

 bcdedit.exe /enum

- Look for the testsinging parameter in the output to confirm that it's set to Yes. 4. Restart Your Computer: - After you have successfully enabled test signing, restart your computer to apply the changes. By enabling test signing mode, you should now be able to install and use unsigned drivers on your Windows 7 system without encountering driver signature verification issues. Remember that test signing mode is meant for testing purposes and may pose security risks, so use it judiciously.
