Vista and Windows 7

 

Windows x64 OS

The underlying device driver (Port95IO) is not compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows.  Thus, IOocx and IONet cannot be used with these operating systems.

 

Windows x32 OS

The Port95IO device driver is unsigned.  Thus, to install it and use it under 32-bit operating systems, later than Windows XP (or Windows Server 2003), you must take additional steps prior to executing the associated Setup programs.

Windows Vista

1) Log on as Administrator
2) Enter the following command in a DOS Box:
"bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS"
(make sure there are no typos in the line above)
3) Press enter and reboot your PC
4) Press F8 key upon initial system boot up
5) Choose to disable forced driver signing enforcement for that boot session

6) To execute the setup program for Port95IO right click on it in Windows Explorer and choose
"Run as administrator" > answer the message box with "Yes"

Windows 7 Disabling Driver Signature Enforcement


1) On Windows 7 boot-up press F8 to get to the extended boot options screen
2) Choose "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"
3) To execute the setup program for Port95IO right click on it in Windows Explorer and choose
"Run as administrator" > answer the message box with "Yes"
4) Short after the program started a "Program Compatibility Assistant" warning message
is displayed, you can simply ignore this by pressing the "Close" button
