Some drivers are not signed and Window 7 will refuse to load them.
What to do? Turn on test signing which allows Windows 7 to load unsigned drivers. To enable this you have to open a command prompt as administrator and type the following command:
Code:C:\>bcdedit -SET TESTSIGN NO

Sweet - I have a coupe of unsigned drivers I want to load - like the SPTD driver in Daemon Toolz...

When I run this command from an elevated command prompt on my Windows 7 x32 box, I get this:
---
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /SET TESTSIGN ON
The element data type specified is not recognized, or does not apply to the
specified entry.
Run "bcdedit /?" for command line assistance.
Element not found.

Comments?
Found the command that seems to work better here:

Whether it works for the particular driver I need, unsure yet.
