I followed those steps to get it to work when I was using Vista.
PEERGUARDIAN FOR WINDOWS VISTA INSTALL
Having that selected will make the GUI disappear and PG2 not show up in the task bar.Īlso, the first two steps work to get PG2 to install properly under Vista 圆4. Make sure that the "Always Start Hidden" check box is cleared.

When you go to run it for the first time, after running the First Run Wizard, you may get a popup from Windows telling you that the driver has not been signed by Windows, but you can still use the program anyway.ģ.

PEERGUARDIAN FOR WINDOWS VISTA PLUS
Install ReadyDriver Plus to automate the process of booting Windows without Driver Signing Enforcement (or if you're leery of using the program, you will have to remember to hit F8 every time you boot your computer and select the Disable Driver Signing Enforcement option).Ģ. So, to get PeerGuardian 2 to work for Windows 7 圆4:ġ. Under the "Settings" tab, there is the option to "Always Start Hidden." Doing that will cause PG2 to not show up in the taskbar and make it impossible for you to access the GUI (Graphical User Interface). I found out why PeerGuardian didn't start up the first time around. So, get yourself ReadyDriver Plus, install it, install PeerGuardian2 (you'll still get a popup saying that the driver isn't supported, but you can still use PG2), restart the computer, and hopefully everything should be right! Hope this helps! Edited Jby ghostofmccleve I have no idea what did it, but I guess the restart was necessary for Windows 7. To be honest, I thought I wouldn't be able to use it.Ī few minutes ago, I had to restart my computer, and when I did, PG started up (I have it start automatically) and lo-and-behold, it's working perfectly. I just installed 7 today and after installing ReadyDriver and PeerGuardian, I started PG up and things looked to be going great! Except that after it loaded, it never showed up in the notification area! I knew it was running, because it was showing up in the task manager, I just couldn't access the UI. It attaches itself to the boot loader, automatically starts the advanced options menu, selects "Disable Device Signing Enforcement" and then Vista/7 loads like normal. There is a program called ReadyDriver Plus that basically does that for you every time your computer starts.


There are a few ways around this, like hitting F8 every time you start your computer to disable this, but that can get kind of annoying. The error you received is the same one I got the first time I updated to Vista: it's due to, as you may well know, Driver Signing Enforcement. Hey, Starborn_Roamer, I hope you're still checking back on these forums, because I have gotten PeerGuardian2 to work for Windows 7 RC 7100.

So as far as I'm concerned, it works perfectly fine. I have now started using PG and I haven't gotten a letter in almost a year. Before I used PG, I got 2 letters from my ISP in a month regarding illegally downloaded software. Unless that program already does that of course.

On topic: If using Test Signing mode you might want to patch the strings in to stop it from saying "Test Mode" at the edges of your screen. If you have considered this and still think it's a good idea, by all means use it. The only thing it will do is single you out if they monitor the same torrent or whatever it is long enough using different connections. What says the companies/groups you are trying to block simply don't use their connections at home, a vpn or other kind of tunnel? That would make such a list totally useless, which it already is. Why even use it? It doesn't have any useful effect anyway.
