If anybody would like to try disabling the driver signing in Vista x64 so there's no need to use the F8 boot menu at each reboot, try this:
In Vista x64 find the cmd.exe (<vista>:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe), right click on it and select "Run as Administrator"
In the box that opens type
Press enter and reboot
Test by loading something simple such as cpu-z or core temp
Also, If needed, the entry can be easily removed with the command:
It's been brought to my attention that this code will also disable playback of protected content from HDDVD/Bluray (or at least not without it being downmixed)
Since i'm not looking at spending around £500 for a new drive, just so I can be told where, when and how I can play my media, this doesn't bother me. But i thought i'd better post a warning for others, just-in-case
At least unprotected content plays just fine
