Note that figuring exactly when to hit F8 can be tricky I generally just tap it once or twice a second the entire time it's booting until the Windows Startup Menu appears. That's right, you'll need to do this each and every time you boot your machine up.

This will make it so that Windows will allow unsigned drivers to be loaded, for this boot only. The easiest way to work around the signed-driver requirement is to hit F8 while your computer is booting, and from the Windows Startup Menu select 'Disable Driver Signing Enforcement'. If you're running a 64-bit version of Windows Vista or 7, you want to be running this release. While this release is not considered quite stable enough to be called PeerBlock 1.0, it's awfully close - we're considering it a 'PeerBlock 1.0 Release Candidate'. Update: The workarounds listed on this page should no longer be necessary! With our PeerBlock r162 Interim Release, we now have a signed-driver available for you. If you are running a 64-bit version of Vista or later and don't apply any of these workarounds, PeerBlock will greet you with an error message advising you that you need to disable signed-driver checking, and then exit.

If you are running a 32-bit version of the above OS versions, or if you're running XP, you don't need to do any of this. You have a number of options for working around the Driver Signing issues that 64-bit (圆4) versions of Windows Vista and Win7 inflict upon PeerBlock.
