Did you use vistabootpro to disable driver signing? I thought someone else said that worked for them. I'll be trying it in a bit too.

Ahhh.. it's good never having to worry about this sort of stuff. I flashed my BIOS to the OC level I wanted before Vista was even officially released. No regrets.

nvm, my bad. No RT here either.

This screwed with RT on Vista x64 for me also but something strange happened, RT offered to disable driver signing for me, didn't work, I then rebooted, hit F8, choose no driver signing, booted into windows, Vista reported it didn't load the RT driver but RT worked and its driver was loaded.

Vistabootpro, BCD Easy, etc won't work since they all just use the same permanent fix that the patch disabled. They add the same string to the BCD store that this command line entry does:

bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

As far as I know, using F8 on every boot is now the only way to load unsigned drivers. Strangely Rivatuner does still work, but the Vista Peerguardian 2 packet driver will absolutely not load without using F8.

Ok, thanks. What a Pain in the...

I un-installed the hotfixes, still good and smooth like before. *fingers still crossed*

Just installed them. I don't notice any change in copying a large directory of many files.

rthdribl.exe runs about 10% faster though.
I have not tried any full screen games yet though.

Anothing thing that I noticed that is annoying me is that pidgin's smooth scrolling effect is laggy now.

Guys, why not use EXPERTool to overclock?
I do and it works fine with the 8800GTX.

Installed on Vista Ultimate x86. Everything seems fine.

Then again I hear its the x64 versions having the issues. If you have this version installed it may be best to wait a week or two for the official beta release.

Apparently Microsoft will be releasing either a second beta or final versions of these patches sometime in August.

But the one's we have now are nice to have to tide us over!
