Hey fellow Cakewalkers,
I was able to use the commands that THambrecht posted to run cmd as administrator and use that to turn off and on driver-signing and with the .inf file changes was able to install the 8.1 driver in Windows 10.
Steps I did was:
- Turn off signing from the cmd console under admin rights
- Restart the machine.
- On restarting the machine, my main screen now showed "Test Mode" "Windows 10" in the bottom half of my machine.
- Plugged in my VS-100 to a USB port
- Went to device manager and removed the old Windows 7 driver.
- Unplugged my VS-100 from USB
- Navigated to the 8.1 driver downloaded with the modified .inf file (as shown in other posts).
- Ran the install.
- Got a Windows warning screen about un-signed driver, clicked on "install anyway".
- Install program worked as normal, including telling you when to plug in the VS-100.
- After install program completed, bring up the cmd console with Admin rights and turn signing back on.
- Restart the machine. After restart the "Test mode" text in the bottom right of the screen was gone.
- Brought up Sonar X3 and it works like a champ :-)
Thanks so much to everyone on the forum that helped out on this. I'm really glad to have my VS-100 working again :-)
Cheers,
Alan
