    I have just jumped on the windows 7 and 64 bits bandwagon and so far I am impressed!
    Everything worked besides RMClock and I8kFans, both have drivers that are not digitally signed, so naturally the 64 bit edition is screaming at me and refuse to run the programs.

    I have tried the cmd line bcdedit command and it is apparently disabled since vista sp1. I have also tried ReadyDrive plus 1.1 but it gave me an error; plus I am not a big fan of messing with the bootloaders.

    My question being : Is there a permanent way of disabling the check besides having to press F8 every time at boot?

    For RMClock there is a signed x64 driver available see the cooling guide for further details. :)

    As for I8KFans I have never used that program and therefore can't assist you with getting it to work on 64bit windows.

    That worked like a charm! Thank you so much.
    Now I just need to find a way to sign i8kfan drivers, so I don't have to keep pressing f8 at start up.
