    I upgraded to windows 8.1, 560m gpu
    disabled driver sig permanently
    tried installing my modded 340.52 drivers which work on win 7 and its a no go.
    I tried to mess around with ini but no amount of tweaking worked. Can someone post a proper guide or help? the old modding method does not work for newer drivers nor for windows 8.1

    I remember there was another thing that you must do to properly disable the driver sig. I'll check when I get home.

    Does it say that no hardware was found?
