How can I get 64-bit USB driver to boot on Vista 64

I am running Vista 64-bit.

I have 3rdPartyUsbDriver.sys and 3rdPartyUsbDriver.inf files.

I made the necessary changes to the vendor and product ids in the inf file to work with my custom hardware. This installs and runs in Unsigned Driver mode, just fine.

Now I want to set this driver to "Normal Mode". I don't care if it issues warnings that this driver is from an untrusted source.

What's the easiest way to do this?

It turns out I needed to create and sign a "cat" file based on the .inf and .sys files.

The only way to install a driver on Vista 4 bit is to digitally sign the driver. I think you need to get a signature here . I'm not 100% sure, but the driver might need to pass WHQL . The WHQL Policies page is located here .
If possible, contact your driver vendor and ask them to do so.
