there's a thread on these forums about that, you have to execute a command via DOS.

seek and ye shall find.

Type the below (or copy/paste) in the dos prompt. Reboot. Done.

bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

You have to run the CMD window as an administrator for it to work.

Like torin3 mentioned, the command needs to be run w/ Administrative privileges (Right click the Command Prompt shortcut in the Start menu, and select "Run as Administrator). In addition, you may need to replace the - in the command... bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS w/ a forward slash:

bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

... or as linked to above, you could try disabling it via the Group Policy Editor: Start | Run | Type gpedit.msc, and click OK | Expand the following branch...

User Configuration | Administrative Templates | System | Driver Installation

In the RH pane right click the "Code signing for drivers" setting--> Properties | Under the "Setting" tab select the "Ignore" radio button. And like jrafael mentioned above, VistaBootPro can accomplish the same thing by editing the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store.

Ok, you are running the shell/dos window as administrator?

Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt?

You are right clicking on it and choosing run as an Administrator?

Or when you open it, you hit Ctrl-Shift-Enter to switch it to run as Administrator?

If these comments aren't making sense, I can post screen shots when I get home. (I'm on XP here at work)

What are the error messages you are getting?
