Unsigned driver load error

If an

 unsigned driver cannot be loaded 

message appears 

on the screen, set the

 HKCU\Software\Policies\ Microsoft\

Windows NT\Driver Signing 

key to allow installation of 

DOME drivers.

To install the driver

1.

Select Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System.

The System Properties dialog box appears.

2.

Select Hardware -> Driver Signing… in the 
Device Manager section.

3.

Select either Ignore or Warn to allow installation of the 
DOME driver and other unsigned drivers.

• If you select Ignore, the installation program ignores the 

lack of a valid Catalog file with a digital signature.

• If you select Warn, the installation displays the message

 

Digital Signature Not Found 

and prompts you to 

continue or cancel.

Impaired screen resolution

If one screen of a dual-headed board looks strange after you 
change the resolution of another screen, make sure the sister 
displays have the same resolution settings by taking one of 
these actions:

• Boot into VGA mode and change settings on one screen to 

match the other.

• Use the DOME tab to change the resolution. It automatically 

changes the sister display resolution to match.
