Driver Signing
When you're
installing a new piece of software on your computer, do you ever get
an error message that says something about Windows Logo testing?The
driver signing feature in Windows XP allows you to make sure that the
drivers you are installing for any new program, device, etc. are
actually compatible with Windows.
To do this, right
click on the My Computer icon on your desktop and choose Properties.
Click on the Hardware tab and then the Driver Signing button. You will
see a little explanation of the Windows Logo testing at the top as
well.
Next, you can
choose how you want your computer to notify you about the testing. You
can either have your computer ignore it and not notify you at all, you
can choose to be warned with a prompt each time this comes into play
or you can block it, which will tell your computer to never install an
unsigned driver. Once you've made your choice, just check the button
next to it and then click OK twice. From now on, your computer will
obey your Windows Logo testing preferences and that makes everything
just so much easier!
