Guest philo Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 I've recently setup a few machines with Win2k...then added additional hardware. At the time of installtion...the H/W was automatically detected and installed by Windows and there were no problems...but I did get that "unsigned driver" warning which I just ignored. Well that was a few weeks ago..but I just now realized that I had not downloaded any drivers nor used a driver CD... the H/W was picked up and installed by the OS ( I assume from the inf folder) so I was just curious as to why that warning appeared? The only thing I can possibly think of is that the OS was fully updated before adding the add'l H/W.

Guest Newbie Coder Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Re: Unsigned driver ? Philo, You can set the Unsigned driver notification like so: Right-click MY COMPUTER | PROPERTIES | HARDWARE tab | DRIVER SIGNING button Ignore - install all files regardless of file signature Warn - display a message before installing an unsigned file Block - prevent installation of unsigned files Admin Option - apply setting as system default ---- Quick Question: You class your e-mail as pivacy, but is the 'MyWeb' you mention anything to do with the adware, MyWeb that everyone hates? -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "philo" <philo@privacy.net> wrote in message news:%23rGajOC6HHA.2208@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > > "Meinolf Weber (Myweb)" <meiweb(nospam)@gmx.de> wrote in message > news:ff16fb664f3cf8c9b64b06963bd1@msnews.microsoft.com... > > Hello philo, > > > > You can set a policy in the domain for unsigned driver behaviour, warn but > > allow install. > > > > Best regards > > > > Meinolf Weber (Myweb) > > Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and > confers > > no rights. > > > > > > Thanks for the reply...and yes I know that I can set up the machines to > either ignore, warn or block... > but I was only curious as to why I got the warning since I was using the > built-in Win2k drivers...not any from the device manufacturer. > >
Guest Meinolf Weber (Myweb) Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Re: Unsigned driver ? Hello Newbie, I have nothing to do with adware, for sure.
