    is it this style warning?

    sorry for bad picture, best i could find on first glance

    if so, i supect its just the none microsoft certified drivers warning?

    i was told this happens that the company isnt running everything they do through microsoft, so as a nice warning, microsoft put a disclaimer to try and scare people off, to buy products of companies that microsoft endorse.

    it looks to be similar enough, but id wait for a few more comments / ideas / the real reason for the warning? what i heard is probably just a rumour

    any other peoples thoughts
  • tenof26 yes that is the exact warning i am getting,had no more feedback yet.thanks for your help
  • If you create a system restore point, then install it, you can always go back if it causes a problem (Windows should do this automatically for you if you have system restore enabled). The message just means that the software probably hasn't been submitted to Microsoft for testing.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
