    I really love using all my ram in a 64bit system, but some of my fav programs/devices won't run, not becuz of compatibility but becuz of driver signing. Peer guardian 2 works for me, but requires a manual start not an autorun at windows startup. I was searching the internet since I got my tx2500z bout 2 years ago and finally found an answer. I know there's another solution by simply not installing certain updates and skipping Service Pack One, but if u pass on your windows support, why aren't you using XP as its unsupported? Really get the best of both worlds, also got a hardware device to run on my system through this. It does require some work and its not for the computer impaired.I think its only right their site be visited cuz the answer is not my own and credit is given where credit is due. Other drivers work too not just peer guardian 2, its just wash, rinse, repeat.


    Go to this link and sign up so u can download the file you need and follow the directions, though step 6 is very badly worded, as the folder names are incorrect, my corrections are in parenthesis, okay?


    6) Copy pgfilter.sys from PeerGuardian2 Program Directory to (downladed file directory location)/SignTool(not signtool its DRIVER SIGNING)\Drivers(DRIVER not drivers)
