Symptoms
On a computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, you open Device Manager to review the properties of a driver. However, the Digital Signer field on theDriver tab displays the following status message:
Not digitally signedThis behavior occurs even though the driver is digitally signed.
Cause
This problem occurs because Device Manager verifies the digital signing information by using the class GUID of the previous driver and the driver name of the current driver. Because no driver is found to match the old class GUID, Device Manager detects the driver as an unsigned driver.
