    223223The 64-bit versions of Windows Vista/7 (and later) only allow installing drivers with certificates that have Microsoft as CA. Or, in other words, drivers verified by Microsoft. Installation of unsigned nor unauthorized device drivers is not allowed by default. This is very problematic when testing the TAP-driver, as signing it after every small change makes no sense. Fortunately there are two ways to work around this:
    224224
    225  * Self-sign the TAP-driver and configure Windows to accept self-signed (unauthorized) drivers.
     225 * Self-sign the TAP-driver and configure Windows to accept ''self-signed'' (unauthorized) drivers.
    226226 * Switch on ''Test mode'' during boot. This allows loading ''unsigned'' drivers.
