    Ok, so this is probably a common problem, but I didn't find my on google, so I'm asking here.

    When I try to install run Rivatuner, I get an error telling me that it can't load the riva tuner64.sys driver, because it's an unsigned driver. Then it gives me the option to restart, with the thing that requires signed drivers disabled, so it can be used. However, when I agree to that, my computer restarts but if i load up Rivatuner the same thing happens. So, I don't know what to do.

    Help?

    Turn off UAC manually in the Control Panel.

    Sorry, I'm still quite new to Vista.

    I disabled UAC through msconfig, but that doesn't solve the problem.

    Is there another part of it I have to disable through the control panel? If so, could you explain?

    RivaTuner is not fully working with VIsta 64-bit at the moment... only 32-bit.

    Oh, ok. Thanks.

    Do you know of another program I could use to monitor temps and such? I'm not so much interested in OCing at the moment as opposed to just monitoring things.

    your best chance for Vista 64-bit is:
    - nVidia nTune
    ... and maybe SpeedFan

    nTune is good enough I suppose. Only odd thing is that it says under fans "Aux1: 4 RPM". 4 RPM? that can't be right...
