Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device
I keep getting this error for a specialized device that uses an integrated usb/nic connection. This is with windows 7 home premium. Now I know the source of the driver. It is the latest driver and is labeled for use with Vista. I need to override this
security check so I can use this equipment. It is integral with me making a living. There is likely absolutrly nothing wrong with the driver. I have downloaded from multiple sites with no change. This equipment worked well under Vista.

I found the answer through searching other sites, it's probably here somewhere as well. Reboot the computer. Press 'F8' during restart. Select Disable Driver Signature Enforcement from the boot menu. This fixed the driver issue in my case.

But isn't true that every time you will need to use this driver, you will need to boot in this mode? Default boot mode will bang your driver in Device Manager.
