Disabling Driver Signing ??
« on: May 28, 2009, 08:48:14 PM »
Evening all,
                 I was wandering if there is anyway of disabling driver signing in windows vista SP1 so I can install atitools to sort out my gpu clocks :)

PS. I was wandering why vista thinks my graphics card is 256mb built in and 768mb shared  ??? Despite thefact that I have 256mb ddr2 = 512mb

When installing the program that you want to, I am assuming you are receiving the message that the driver is not recognized, so just click "accept"

256mb ddr2 = 512mb ?

No, 256MB ddr2 = 256MB RAM which is just quicker than DDR or DDR1
It does not double the size.

How much RAM is being shown on the "General page of System properties?

256mb but if i switch back to XP, XP shows up as 512mb

and about the unsigned drivers it seems there is no proven way to force vista to accept the unsigned drivers :( due to the way microsoft designed it and the makers of atitools are unwilling to pay the fee for M$ to sign and verify the drivers :(

I've just tried both those commands but neither of them seem to work for atitools :( and its probably the only gpu oc tool that allows such detailed clock speed changes. I think I will have to go back to XP x64 until M$ learn their lesson  :no:
