Hi everyone, not sure if this should be here or in the drivers section but it's a game that’s caused this.
I bought Dreamfall The Longest Journey yesterday and although its installed fine, a copy protection program it forces you to install adds a driver to the windows directory. A driver that someone decided would be better if it weren’t digitally signed...
Anyway my computer is now spitting it's dummy out on boot unless I tape it in with the advanced boot menu. Is there anything I can do about this? or do I just have to put up with pressing F8 every time my pc starts until I get bored and uninstall the game.
The driver is called sfsync04.sys
I heard there is a way to make Vista always forego driver checking on boot but I'd rather not do that as I don’t see the point of compromising my pc's security for the sake of one game.

- CPU fan was defective and exploded. Sound card never works properly ATI graphics card keeps forgetting my HDTV's refresh rate and runs at a constant 70'c. Did have a Nvidia 7950GT 512mb but that exploded too. Machine smells faintly of burning plastic, not sure where it comes from. Windows page file is jammed at 10gig for some reason. Slow but it will never run out I guess...
