Yes, you would have to every time at bootup hit F8 and choose "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" in advanced options, EVERY TIME, this now applies to ALL Vista versions, not only 64bit. Or you would use a program like ReadyDriverPlus which will automate the bypass for you.

This patch NO LONGER WORKS if you have updated your Vista to the latest security updates, it will not boot into Vista, even in Safe Mode and restoring with Vista boot cd does not even work. Like many other people out there, I had to boot up Ubuntu from a CD and manually restore the original tcpip.sys file, which luckily I have backed up. So if you are not an advanced user, DO NOT USE THIS PATCH, it is outdated and will mess up your Vista completely. This is not a joke. The owner of this article is a n00b for not updating or completely removing it by now.

CAUTION!!!

I don't know if it is the latest updates in Vista, or the tcpip.sys file that is linked (I downloaded the 64-bit version for my 64-bit system)… but this _BROKE WINDOWS_, to where it would not boot. I can't be sure what exactly was the problem; but my patched version was correct and I followed the steps exactly.

Luckily I had created a back-up, and replaced tcpip.sys with it; so no harm no foul…

If you decide to try this…

PLEASE CREATE A BACKUP AND KNOW HOW TO USE IT!

Followed the tutorial I'm fairly certain to the letter. Luckily I created a copy of tcpip.sys when I replaced it. BE WARNED! I could NOT boot into windows, NOT EVEN SAFE MODE! It would crash when loading normal or safe. Be sure you can replace the patched file with the original file before you even attempt this! I used an install of ubuntu I have on a USB key to go back into my drivers folder and change the modified file back to the original copy I had saved. Apparently you can't even fix this problem with a windows repair from the installation disk, if this happens to you as well, you might be looking at a reformat if you do not have the means to fix it! Proceed with caution, seems like this would have some benefits that may be worth the risk, but only do this if you are certain you could fix it should things go wrong without booting into windows under any mode.

agreed with poster #52….i did this twice and messed my pc up but nothing bad that a repair wouldn’t fix.

i read elsewhere that all you might need to do is lower the net.max.half_open and bt.connect_speed to a value of 10 or lower than 10. this seems to be working for me as i’m dl-ing between 780 – 880 kB/s. that’s normal for me anyways. hope this helps.

Slowed down my download speed tremendously… went from an already slow 50 kB/s to no higher than 10 kB/s. Used to be pulling 300 kB/s :(

Do all these steps from the DOS prompt! The steps say to do some from the “command prompt” but you cant verify if it worked or not. Run CMD as an administrator. Start, programs, accessories, RIGHT CLICK ON “Command Prompt, RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. Enter your commands from there. When you get to this step replace “username” with the user name your using. DONT LEAVE ANY QUOTATIONS IN THAT AREA”" EITHER cacls c:\windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys /G “username”:F

I had the same problem. After following these instructions carefully my network adapter stopped connection to the internet altogether and my NOD32 said something about POP3 and HTML protection weren’t working. I reverted to my original settings by running Securevista.net_TCPIP_UAC_PATCH, /undopatch.bat. This is the same thing as the instructions above, since doing both gave me the same results. You can google that patch and run that .bat file to undo the above instructions. It worked for me!

When i installed the patched 64 bit tcpip.sys onto a 64 bit windows vista OS it messed it all up and made it very unstable, even with booting useing F8.
