The Slate PC: Haven't We Been Down This Road Before?

With the success of Apple's iPad, the PC industry is going slate crazy. HP has two types of slate PCs on tap, one based on Windows 7 and one on WebOS. And Microsoft is going to carpet-bomb the market with different kinds of Windows, just to see what sticks. There's just one problem: Customers have already voted against Windows on slates.

Unsignierte Treiber unter Vista 64 - Wie ?

In der finalen Version von Vista x64 gibt es nur noch einen Weg: Beim Bootvorgang F8 drücken, so dass das Windows-Start/Bootmenü erscheint. Dort findest du neben den Punkten "Abgesicherter Modus" etc. weiter unten auch die Möglichkeit den Signierzwang zu deaktivieren. (Im englischen: Disable Driver Signature Enforcement)

Du kannst deine Treiber jedoch auch selbst signieren:
