Just an update/rant on this. I've just built a system for a friend (very similar spec to mine, Q6600 @3.2ghz, ECS P45T-A mobo, 4GB G.Skill DDRII 6400, HD4850), he insisted on having the latest and greatest on I installed Vista 64bit for him. I though he wouldn't have any problems but PeerGuardian 2 won't install since there's no way to disable driver signing in SP1. Devil May Cry 4 installed fine, but for whatever reason it won't run. I'm so tempted to just install XP with a fake Vista theme for him and tell him it's Vista. Anyways, I'm so glad I stayed with XP. If I ever want to game on DX10, I will only do a dual boot setup. All these restrictions on Vista really piss me off.

I tried the RC1 Test 2 version of PG2, but since there's no way to disable driver signing with SP1 installed, Windows blocked it. Did you have SP1 installed? If so, how did you get it to work? And I don't know why, but DMC4 won't run either.
