There must be a million threads for this, I've seen them everywhere.

I am trying to install something in Windows 7 RC1 x64 Build 7127 that has worked on windows xp (32 bit) and windows vista (also 32 bit.) and even windows 7 beta! (32 bit.)

The device is a steering wheel, which I've had for the original xbox days. I have a USB adapter, and I tried to use it with my computer.

On previous operating systems, I would download the first download on this page: http://madcatz.com/Default.asp?page=213

then download this: http://www.redcl0ud.com/xbcd.html#download

I have followed EVERY guide known to the world wide web, and I still can't get the damn thing to work.

Windows recognizes it as "XBOX Steering Wheel" and Windows update finds no driver. Typical.

I found those x64 drivers, that seem like they'd work. It said you need to disable driver signing: /FAIL

I typed those 2 things in command prompt (disable signing, and test mode) individually. They both said "The operation has completed successfully"

So I restart, and it STILL says it didn't pass the digital signature check. I even found a PROGRAM that signs them, but that doesn't work either.

The steering wheel doesn't have a problem (When I was dual booting it worked in all of them except Windows 7x64)

Is there ANYTHING else I can try? If you're a driving enthusiast like me you know WSAD doesn't cut it. =/


Please and thanks


EDIT It's somehow surpassed me that I need to press F8 and disable driver signing as well. So the controller works now! :D But do I need to disable driver signing every time I boot up windows?
