    Vista niggles

    When my comp starts up I keep getting a message.

    Security warning

    Unknown publisher

    The program is for my onboard sound: Analog Devices\Core\smax4pnp.exe

    Even when I un tick the checkbox to always perform this task when opening I still get the message every time I start up.

    It's getting really anoying.....Any ideas?
    Can I change the registry?? if so what should I enter?

    Hit F8 at boot as if you were going into safe mode and select "disable driver signing" should work fine after that.

    Will that not leave the comp open to potential malicious code?

    Only until you reboot and you'd still need to find malicious code that looked like an unsigned driver designed to attack Vista(unlikely). It sounds like your sound drivers have got themselves stuck in a loop trying to install, one boot with driver signing off and they should sort thesmselves out.
