Hi gamefan,

Don't worry about that.
Launch the command prompt windows (cmd) with admin rights and copy/paste the following command :
Code: [Select]
chkdsk C: /f /v /x
Please allow chkdsk to run on next reboot and restart the computer to perform the analysis.
Is the driver able to load ?

Regards.

I've tested the file you sent (which doesn't seem corrupt), and verify says the signature is correct, and is valid for kernel.
Plus the Microsoft Cross certificate is present... The file is not the problem here.

Gamefan, could you look into C:\Windows\INF
if you see files like setupapi.<something>.log ?
Could you attach them all?

Thanks.

Hi gamefan,

One last try :
Launch the command prompt windows (cmd) with admin rights and copy/paste the following command :
Code: [Select]
wusa /uninstall /kb:2949927 /quiet /promptrestart
Don't close the command prompt before the operation is finished !

Reboot the system and then, please check Windows Update for updates.
If any, install them and reboot the computer before testing RogueKiller again.

Regards.

I tried that, I don't have that update installed on my pc, is service pack 1 needed to do that? my pc won't let me install SP1 for some wierd reason, probably the fact that I had to change the HD a while back and I needed Intel Rapid Storage Technology to even get windows update to work again , and some updates I read have some severe privacy issues/botnet implications.

I'm sorry about these faillings. Should I just let you know if the driver starts working again in a future update? I really am sorry.

Not, it's not. This KB is known to cause issue when processing SHA-2 hashed certificates. Since it's not installed on your system, it's not the culprit.

Hi gamefan,

I'm glad to hear it. :)

We reverted back to SHA-1 hashing since we discovered SHA-2 algorithm is only partially supported on Windows 7 : Signing Kernel-mode Drivers with SHA-2/SHA-256
Thanks again for your continuous feebacks on the issue, it really helped us troubleshooting it.

Regards.

Ah, not very knowledgable on SHA stuff and this is probably a stupid question but does the algorithm affect Rougekiller's ability to detect?

Again, sorry for necroing the thread. Thank you.
