The title says it. I have the Belkin F5D7000 wireless card. I wish to use it in my primary pc. I have Vista x64. On the website, a driver even specifically says it supports Vista 64. But upon installation of said driver, I come to find out it is not digitally signed and therefore impossible to install.

How could a company release an official driver that says it supports Vista 64 when they know it is not digitally signed?

Anyone have any ideas on how I can get this to work without changing OS?

It did not gave you the option to "install it anyway"?

It gives the option, but will end up blocking itself later on. Some may not be aware of this, but on Vista x64, it is impossible to install a device driver that is not digitally signed by Microsoft. I am confused as to how a company could release a driver saying it fully supports something when there is no way to get it running on any system with what it says it supports.

Yeah there is a current issue with this.

Your best bet is to email/contact Belkin's support.
