Title: Radar Box software driver will not install under vista premium
Post by: FOFFRN on March 28, 2009, 02:45:02 AM
Just purchased a new laptop running vista home premium.

Tried to install radarbox software, and when it tried to install the drivers, I received an error message saying that this version of windows ("vista") required a digitally signed version of the drivers. Since none were found to be digitally signed, I could proceed no further.

The install program then politely shut itself down and I was left hanging.

Has anyone else run into this problem???

Has the software company( I think, FLTI ???) released a digitally signed version yet?? I hope so!!

Thanks,

Jeff

Maybe try installing this driver:

http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%202.04.16.exe (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%202.04.16.exe)

It says it will work with Vista 64 bit.

If you're running 64-bit Windows, see http://www.airnavsystems.com/forum/index.php?topic=528.msg6985#msg6985

Vista is supposed to prefer signed drivers, but SHOULD give you the option of using, at your risk, unsigned ones.
There is a lot of "legacy" equipment out there for which the drovers are not sugned and the drivers for various reasons will never be signed.
Microsoft is aware of the problems and HAD to implement the workaround, at the users risk!!!

I'm running Vista Home Premium and had no probs. Ensure you are running as administrator or turn off User Account Control:
