Yes, if you spend $500 p.a. for the needed VeriSign certificate, you can
sign your driver yourself.

BTW: VeriSign would not give some certificates in some countries. Thus,
if you live in such a country, you're out of the game.

You can use other signed certificates if you run user-mode drivers, but
for kernel-mode drivers, you need a certificate which is allowed by MS.

Spiro.

Hu? Which version do you use? 0.4.0, or some later one?

Does switched the drive off and on help, too? Or does it help if you do
not switch off the drive, but do instcbm -r & instcbm alone?

THESE are the reports I would like to get to be able to correct the
problems!

Regards,
Spiro.

Hi Spiro,

Sorry, I always figured I was locking up the driver with my MNIB code
since it's constantly under development, so I never mentioned it.

Did the Daemon Tools guys pay for their cert? I don't think so because
Vista warned me that it was a self-generated certificate. I think they
just made a new certificate using Microsoft's tools and signed the driver.
