I'm not seeing the connection between the DRM and PeerguardianWell, for one, I can't run Peerguardian.
3. Use ReadyDriver Plus to permanently disable and turn off disable driver signing enforcement automatically on every system startup.
If I could rep you, I would.Go buy a Mac and leave us alone, you ignorant imbecile.
Didn't MS blame shitty drivers for all of the Vista BSOD's? I don't think the DRM prevents system crashes, just causes problems.
Go build your own distro of Linux.I shouldn't have to do any damn work. Microsoft should have given its users and customers options.
Well, I've never been in a car accident either, so I guess that means I can take out the airbags and seatbelts too? They are such a freaking inconvience. Damn Honda for supressing me with seatbelts!!!People like you lack common sense and logic. We are bullied into submission, and we no longer have any rights. I cannot do what I want to do with my operating system. My computer has never suffered a massive virus infection where the damage was irreparable. I use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security, check active processes manually, notice strange application behavior, and I eliminate everything that threatens me immediately. It's really not a hard thing to do.
This has nothing to do with piracy. It has everything to do with protecting your privacy and rights. Peerguardian helps you fight to regain your rights.
If I could rep you, I would.
If you could 'rep' me?
If I could rep you, I would.
Every single one of us here knows what you're doing with Peerguardian.
When you're doing something unlawful, not only do you get no sympathy, you lose any "rights" you have.
Microsoft doesn't spy on you, and it forces driver developers to have 64-bit versions, so there's no holding back involved.Wish I had sympathy from someone, but yet, you're all happy to give away all your rights, let Microsoft spy on you, and let Microsoft hold the industry back from improving computing by taking it to the 64-bit level with the support of free unsigned drivers.
Yeah, cause like the rest of you redneck posters, you are all knowing.
I'm shocked how this thread has turned out.

Just so everyone knows, I "took one for the team" by posting that comment.
Got an infraction notice in my box.

As a long time member you know better than name calling!
However I like most here obviously agree!
I'm flabbergasted. It's cool. W/e. Since I apparently have no choice but to use DriverReadyPlus, guess I'll have to use it. It's still annoying that there is not a patch or hack.
It's better to have little security from Microsoft, more security from other corporate identities, and the option to change your operating system the way you want.
I thought I'd have much more support on this one. Apparently not. Have fun eating your forced DRM and the inability to disable integrity checks.
I'll stick with XP x64 with an ok hacked version of DX10. That's the only reason I wanted Vista anyway.

I'd sympathize with that situation you wrote about... At least have an editable Local Policy perhaps???I must admit, it is annoying not being able to install unsigned drivers out of the box. I'm surprised that this not just given as an option to the user when they install the OS.
You've got to be the only person in the world (except perhaps malware writers) with that opinion.It's better to have little security from Microsoft

IDK, my XP says I have DX10 installed:

Haven't had much time to test it though.
I'd still like to know what you installed to get "DX10" for XP.
Dxdiag information doesn't prove he has dx10 installed since the dxdiag information being displayed can be easily manipulated through the registry.
Change the following "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Directx\version" from 4.09.00.0904 to 4.10.00.5515. Run DXdiag and it will show Directx 10 as "installed" with the same version number as earnolmartin's screenshot.
His screenshot is definitely edited since the computer name information is missing right under date and time.
Microsoft gave you your option: Test Mode. You know, the thing you said you didn't like because of the watermarks. Use it or stfu
The option to disable them via command line basically negates them completely since any installer could disable it permanently, and it makes sense to remove that.
We're adults here, you can say "fuck Microsoft," yanno, but it won't help your case. If you really think you're getting DX10 features with that hack in XP Pro x64, you've got far worse problems than just using Windows, I assure you.

I bow at your feet of infinite wisdom :rolleyes:
Anyone can modify the registry to change that DX field.

Or, in your case, misinformation.
[quote="earnolmartin, post: 1034111320"]LINUX is not an option. It's worse than anything Microsoft has, but Microsoft is heading the same way Linux is, which is why it will fail with Windows 7.[/QUOTE]
That's a bold statement, right there. If you're still around when Windows 7 sells at triple the rate XP ever did, why by golly, not only would that be a miracle in itself, I'll make you eat your words.
Back to DX10...
The only entity that can bring true DirectX 10 to Windows XP is Microsoft. Let me say that again to be abundantly clear: [U][B][I]The only entity that can bring true DirectX 10 to Windows XP is Microsoft.[/I][/B][/U]
[U]First reason:[/U] XP was never thought out ahead of time to run DirectX 10. XP was in it's final stages before Microsoft even had a solid idea what they wanted DirectX 10 to even do, much less have a solid model for it. XP was in finishing stages 1999-2000. I don't think we even saw a real developer version of DX10 until after SP2 was released. We all know by SP2, Microsoft was pretty much done with XP (being SP3 is just a rollup, mostly).
[U]#1: XP was never designed or considered to run DX10.[/U]
[U]Second reason:[/U] DX10 itself can't run on Windows XP, it's just not supported. New features like GPU task swapping, GPU memory management, things like that... (Along the same lines of what Aero uses) XP simply doesn't support. Those things are also tied into the kernel and driver layers.
Implementing new driver layers and a new kernel that could support DX10 into XP would essentially turn it into Vista.
Remember? The new driver layer is something you're bitching about right now. To get DX10 on XP, you'd have the exact same driver layer as what you're complaining about right now. The second thing you forget here: Microsoft is still a business and has to make money. Why rewrite XP's kernel for FREE when they can make money with Vista?
[U]#2: It is not technically possible to run DX10 on Windows XP.[/U]
-----------------------------------
So in short, STFU about DX10 and XP.
It is an argument I am sick and tired of hearing about.
Sure, you may have found a little icon that tricks programs into thinking you've got DX10 by modifying some files and editing your version in the registry, but the REAL DX10 games, you'll be SOL on, because XP simply won't run them when they start utilizing the new features.
I want to close with repeating this point for the third time, so you are CLEAR on this:
[U][B][I]The only entity that can bring true DirectX 10 to Windows XP is Microsoft.[/I][/B][/U]
