    eurika!!!!!!!!

    CI.DLL is only in the “Approved mode of operation” when Windows is booted normally, meaning

    Debug mode has not been enabled and Driver Signing enforcement has not been disabled.
    from the link i posted, driversigning disabled mode worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    but thaT just gets me in the front door (windows 7) And quite a glorious front dor it is

    soap for sore eyes

    Ruby,
    Go to a command prompt using your win 7 dvd.

    Run SFC /SCANNOW.

    I'm including the link to the tutorial about sfc.

    Here is how to go to a command prompt using your DVD

    GO TO A COMMAND PROMPT USING YOUR WIN 7 DVD

    ■Boot up from a Windows 7 DVD.
    ■At the first dialog window, press SHIFT + F10
    ■You will have a X:> command prompt
    X: is a ram drive created by Windows 7.

    although i did not have the command written even close to correctly in my post, if you remember a few posts back i did say i did run one ( from command prompt , just the one thats on the HDD not the DVD, do you really think that will make a difference?, it did check out just fine every time i tryed it and I tryed it on both "file size" versions - remember when i said startup repair changes the size of a ci.dll obtained elsewhere and copyed over the "corrupt one"

    I'll try the dvd if you want me to...

    if by disabling driver signed mode worked for you then:

    1. must be done each and everytime until the "unsigned" driver is removed.
    2. now what did you do whereby you installed a driver which was unsigned?

    win7 wont allow it, without disabling the feature, so i couldnt have installed an unsigned driver.

    plus i applied the driver disable mode merely so ci.dll would not be accessed, it does not mean that the CAUSE is an unsigned driver, just a screwed-up function call at boot time maybe, and as i previously mentioned in safe mode it loads 5 drivers the last one listed is CLFS.sys, before quickly stopping and starting loading the startup repair mode

    I could have just as easily used kernal debugging mode to bypass the use of the code integrety dynamic link library file: ci.dll according to the quoted statemnet i located in the technical specs in that link, remember?

    Ruby,
    When you are in Win 7, then:

    WIN | type SIGVERIF | ENTER

    ADVANCED button | Save the... checked | Overwrite ... radio button |
    SIGVERIF.TXT in the file name box | OK button

    Back at the first dialog, START button | OK button |
    ADVANCED button | VIEW LOG button |
    under the STATUS column, you are looking for anything that does NOT show Signed.


    Oh yes, WIN is the key with the wavy microsoft flag on top.

    results: 124 signed 0 unsigned (and verified visually down the column as you suggested)

    Oh the wavy key I'm starting to rember things like that now!
