Hi,
When installing my WDM on Win2000 through the DeviceManager, I get this
message which says “Installing this device driver is not recommended
because Windows cannot verify that it is compatible with your hardware.If
the driver is not compatible, your hardware will not work correctly and
your computer might become unstable or stop working completely. Do you want
to continue installing this driver?”. The driver installs fine and
everything works fine. I am creating my own class in the inf file and am
installing the driver in that class.
Can anyone guide me as to how to get rid of this message ?
Thanks for all help

Try setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing\Policy
= 0 and then install your driver.

I tried it, but it did not help. I have used only the
following entries in the inf file to create a new
class
[ClassInstall32]
Addreg=ATSDClassReg
[ATSDClassReg]
HKR,0,%ClassName%
HKR,Icon,-5
Should I have any more entries ?? Should I have any
entries in the .rc file to avoid this message ?
Thanks for any help.

Make sure you’re using the correct hardware and vendor IDs (and/or
‘compatible’ IDs) in your INF file for your device.

As previous poster implied, this message is the result of your driver not
being “signed” by Microsoft.
According to the last info that I heard, there WILL be a signing program for
general purpose drivers. It is not clear to me, at least, exactly what this
will entail and what the procedures will be. You will certainly need to run
a set of generic tests, with driver verifier enabled.
That’s all I know, sorry!

Besides, this only happens during install, and it takes very little time to
click past it and continue. I install a fresh driver set of the drivers I am
developing every time I install a new build of Windows XP, which means I see
this message every few weeks or so.
So your driver isn’t signed, big deal. Chances are your driver is providing
services that the available signed drivers don’t. My company provides a
driver for a Fibre Channel adapter that does things that the normal drivers
for the same cards don’t do. Personally I think signing is good, but not
every driver out there can or will be signed. Some times we have to “extend”
the envelope to meet the specifications laid upon us, and those “extensions”
have no hope of ever being signed. I highly doubt that I can ever get my
SCSI and peer to peer driver suite signed since I have used DLL exports in
the SCSI mini-port to call into a module that is compiled using the NTDDK
header. But then the customers I have using it, do not care about signing.
Does signing mean that a signed driver is “better” than my driver? No. It
simply means that the signed driver has been sent to Microsoft and it meets
their specifications. It in no way implies that an unsigned driver is a bad
driver or suspect. Frankly, I take pride in my work and try to provide my
customers with the best product that is equal to any signed driver on the
market. And there is no signed driver that I know of that will drive a
Qlogic ISP2100/2200 at 102 megabytes per second in a peer to peer
connection.
Customers that pay the hourly for developers to write custom drivers should
understand that. The simplest solution for this, is to inform your customers
that your driver is not a Microsoft blessed driver, and then get on with it.
Gary.

Well actually it happens every time a new device managed by your driver
is installed, and that is truly annoying. Consider peripherals such as
usb devices that can come and go on a regular basis.

Hi,
I have read about this problem in ntdev list
Try setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing\Policy
REG BINARY : 0 0 0 0 and then install your driver .

It isn’t enough. The value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER (the same path) must be
also set to zero.
