How can I get my driver WHQL signed for Vista 64?

I have a driver that my company has been using for a few years for our customers. The driver can no longer be installed under Vista 64. I believe I need to get the driver signed, but I am not sure how I can get started.

  • What is the best place to get started?
  • How long does this typically take?
  • What will I need to send to Microsoft?
  • Are there third parties who are willing to do this all for us?
  • What does the process (with or without third parties) usually cost?
Solution

  • You start by reading all the stuff on the WindowsLogo site.

    Although actually Vista 64 refuses to load unsigned drivers, not non-WHQL drivers, so imply purchasing a software signing certificate and signing the executables will be enough.
