Firewire Drivers for x64 Vista Ultimate? 1

[dglienna]

Trying to hook up my laptop to my cable box, using a program from here

http://home.comcast.net/~timmmoore/firewire/readme.htm

Problem is that Vista x64 won't allow unsigned drivers to be installed. I don't want to turn that feature off, as I'd have to leave it off.

I'd rather find some other way to do this.

Have you tried updating the driver through MS Update?

What Laptop is it, or better what is the VEN & DEV nr. of the Firewire device?

It's an ASUS X83V-Xq with 4 gigs of RAM, and 2.66 Centrino 2

Oh, I understand the problem now...

I am afraid you will have to use the option to allow unsigned drivers for it to work at all...

btw. the software app you are referring to is only supported by MCE2005 and may not work with Vista...
