    My Alienware M17x R3 shows a problem under DXDIAG. In 32 bit dx diag all is fine but under 64-bit dxdiag the message comes up that the sound driver stwrt64.sys is not digitally signed. Is this anything to worry about? Anyone else see the same? My sound works absolutely fine on the laptop.

    Anyone have the same? Should I be worried about the lack of a digital signature under 64 bit dx diagnostics? It sounds like it may be a fairly common issue and nothing to worry about seeing as my sound works fine.
