What does it mean to have an unregistered Windows XP driver? Why do I get a warning screen when I install the drivers for the PCIe board?
A. Microsoft has implemented a driver signing program. This program verifies that a driver will not cause a problem on a system. Although the driver signing is not a complete indication that a driver is safe or bug-free, it’s certainly reasonable to assume that signed drivers are generally safer for the overall system health than unsigned driver. However, just because a driver is unsigned DOES NOT mean that it will no function properly in your system. An “unregistered” driver is one that has not been officially tested and certified by Microsoft. Unlike previous versions of Windows, Windows XP/Vista warns users every time they try to install a driver that Microsoft has not certified. Quatech thoroughly tests all drivers before releasing them to our customers. The Microsoft XP/Vista warning has nothing to do with the quality of our driver or it’s ability to function properly in your system. When you see this warning during the installation of the PCIe board, simply tell Windows that you
