Hmm, so far it's nice, but it's still a pain in the backside.
Can't turn off the driver signing insistance thing, so the on the fly overclocking software that came with my MSI board won't install, vmWare server (one of the reasons I went for a powerful PC) doesn't want to work, so frankly it's been a dissapointment, and is going to be hard work (unless Zing can come up with a known solution) if at all possible to get things working how I want them.
Course having the matrix dropping down as my wall paper is nice.

I think that V32 ultimate doesn't insist on teh driver signing, so is somewhat more friendly.
Ho-hum.
32 bit does not have driver signing. Ive not really run into any need to disable it but it is meant to be do able try this http://news.softpedia.com/news/Disab...ta-53491.shtml edit looks like this is the same info you had before

VMware workstation 6 works for me

bit more info here http://thebackroomtech.wordpress.com...-vista-64-bit/ but m guessing if sp1 is installed it wont work

You can also do it by booting and hitting F8 apparently there is a way there to disable it for next boot. I know its a pain in the bottom to do this every time but its still a way


@mark just chuck xp at it
