Disable PatchGuard & Driver Signing

[disauto]

Here's how to do it:
Hit Windows ORB in your taskbar
Run CMD (Command Prompt) in elevated mode. (Right click | Run as Administrator)
NOTE: If you have UAC (User Account Control) enabled, you will get a prompt
message. Select YES to continue.
Type the following two commands and hit Enter after each line.
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
You will receive The operation completed successfully message for both commands.
Restart you computer for the changes to take effect.
Now, you should be able to install unsigned drivers on Windows 7 SP1.
If you're like me, you might want to revert changes that we've just made after
successful installation of unsigned drivers. To do so repeat the steps above and
in the Command Prompt enter the following commands:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF

The switch DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS was only present on Windows Vista alpha/beta versions and has been removed in Vista RC. It was never available on any Windows 7 version.

TESTSIGNING ON does not allow you to load unsigned drivers, it only allows you to load selfsigned drivers. It has nothing to do with installing selfsigned drivers, it only allows them to be loaded. As soon as you use TESTSIGNING OFF Windows will only load drivers signed or cross-signed by Microsoft again and doesn't care if you installed selfsigned drivers in TESTSIGNING mode.

Both switches do not disable PatchGuard, the thing this thread is about. Please read the topic und check your posts before you copy&paste something which is false information and does not have anything to do with the topic.
