RTHDVCPL.exe driver signing problem, Vista SP1

Posted: 08-12-2008, 10:24 PM
After applying Vista SP1 on my Acer notebook, I started getting a popup
saying that this driver didn't have a valid digital signature. This is
support for the internal Realtek audio system (mic & speakers). Any thoughts
on either getting the correct files or else bypassing driver validation ?
Thanx,
Joe Auerbach

Check Acer site for driver update specific to your model

This happens in Vista X64 because of driver signature enforcement
RTHDVCPL.exe is nothing more than a executable for supporting a Realte
control panel applet and has nothing to do with sound functionality. Yo
should be able to use 'Autoruns
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb963902.aspx) o
msconfig to disable the executable from executing at startup and th
error should not appear anymore

Thanx for the responses, folks.
DL - the files I have are from Acer's website, Realtek doesn't seem to have
a download section, they claim that they only provide hardware, not drivers ??

Arkitect - msconfig will enable me to bypass it, thanx, I just thought that
there may be a better solution in case this crops up again. I usually try to
solve, rather than avoid, but for now I won't spend any more cycles on it.
Rgds, Joe

Realtek does have a download section, the driver section is just a bi
hidden. I am assuming what you need is an AC97 audio driver which yo
can get 'here' (http://tinyurl.com/zlc2q) for the purpose of getting th
latest driver but then again the executable causing the error is not
sound driver, it's just extra baggage that came with the driver that
would disable for all purposes anyways

Thanx, I'm doing the d/l, I'll see what it gives me when I expand it.
As for not running it, I disabled it in msinfo, so it hasn't cropped up again.
BTW, I'm also having a problem with the built-in OrbiCam behaving
inconsistently, I'm putting that in another thread just to keep things
straight.
Thanx again
