    Hi Ken.

    Try going into Local Security Policy - secpol.msc. Then navigate to security
    settings/local policies/security options. Then look for I believe the next to last
    option about unsigned driver installation and set it to "warn but allow installation"
    and save the setting. That might help out. --- Steve
