14 replies

Hello Everyone,
The 6.00 ct works well with Windows 7 64 bit and Beo6
Now I have windows 8 on my computer and he says he can not install the driver
I get the error Failure microsoft-INF does not contain digital signature information
Anyone here knows a solution
I also looked up how digital signatures can circumvent but can not find it
Have to Windows helpdesk called but who say I should inform manufacturer
Help does anyone know a solution for that problem
Have been a couple of days to search

B&O's does not have have their driver digitally signed which means you will need to install it manually.

In true Microsoft style it makes it very difficult (but not impossible) to bypass "Driver Signature Enforcement"

Unlike all other versions of Windows which support digitally sign drivers to bypass the enforcement system can ONLY be done in the operating system "Startup Settings"

Here is the procedure which assumes you are logged into Windows 8

  1. Press WIN + I to launch the CHARM BAR and click Change PC Settings at the bottom.
  2. In General scroll to the bottom of the page, click "Restart Now Button" under "Advanced Startup" section.
  3. After Windows 8 reboots click "Troubleshooting"
  4. Then Click "Advanced Options"
  5. Now Click "Startup Options"
  6. The forth item down in the list is "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"
  7. Click the Restart Button and a new menu will appear after it reboots
  8. Press either the "7" key or "F7"
  9. Now you will get the Window which you would normally see on earlier versions of Windows to allow you to bypass signature enforcement

Keith the 'saver'... as usual I must say.

I don't get it. Everytime a new OS is released, it's a real pain to install the ConfigTool.

I dream of a world of full compatibility!

Keith,

You are really incredible, it works


In a few minutes gefixt in Windows 8


Lucky there is Beoforum

Thank you very much

As I still have a Beo 5:

Will this work for the older Version of the config tool, too?

Thanks. :)

Yes, it should be the same for older versions.

In both Wista and Windows7 my version 6 of the tool crashes when it reaches the Logopart. Any suggestions? I have reinstalled it from scratch without any result. In W7 its also problems with the USB-driver. Why is it always problems with B&Os software?

Does the configuration tool need Windows 8 Pro, or is just the standard Windows 8 sufficient? The only thing that I need Windows for is for the B&O configuration tool.
