0xc0000428 error - "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file."

Original title: 0xc0000428 error

I'm using Windows Vista and I already had the problem, "the Windows Boot Configuration data file is missing required information" which I have rebuilt the bcd for. Now it won't let me not restart due to the error 0xc0000428, stating "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. How to do this?

Hi Rajisace,

·         How long have you been faced with this problem?

·         You did it last changes before the show?

·         Please provide us with the file information in the error message.

Method 1: Try to start the computer using the last good known Configuration and check if you can successfully start.

Using the last good known Configuration

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/using-last-known-good-configuration

Method 2: I will suggest you to do material clean boot and check to see if you encounter the same problem.

1. right click on my computer-> properties

2 Hardware tab Device Manager->

3. right click on the sound card, video card and NIC, one by one, then click on turn off

4 restart the computer.  If the problem is resolved, you can then enable the devices one by one to find the exact mechanism causing the problem

After you find the device that is causing the problem you can solve by installing the latest driver or replacement of the unit.

I will also propose you to check if the boot priority is set on hard drive and check if you experience the same problem.

Method 3: Check a drive for errors

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

Important:  If all available hard disk data can be lost when running chkdsk, as the chkdsk attempts to repair the affected area.

Hope this information is useful.

    Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.

    * So what the hell is happening? Sorry, but am getting very frustrated by that. I noticed that windows creates a file called windows.old. Avoid the old windows, it's an empty hard disk, and it was an installation of full version. NOT an upgrade. As to why my product key does not work... not even me angry by publishing what I've seen elsewhere in these forums. I DO not pay another $200 for a different product key. This one should work. I just opened this "thing" to do the installation. So if this key was stolen, it was stolen that microsoft has packaged discs.

    Can I safely delete this file called windows.old (assuming that I can always go back to windows 7)? Do you think this has nothing to do with the problem? Or should I do what ppl do upgrades mean that they have to do... Reinstall win 7?
    * He let me use F8 for advanced options to disable the driver signature.

    Thank you! Got the product key problem is resolved. I saw on another post, you stated

    Now that address my other question as much as me have allowed difficulty delivers windows boot is seen? I see that windows 7 is a file boot.ini as previous versions of windows. I would like to see the "command-line" some win 7 has instead of boot.ini file uses. I suspect something may be there that causes the driver signature error... and tried the 'bootrec' methods above doesn't solve anything for me.

    Thanks a lot for your help in this matter. (Once I get the verify signature driver disabled it goes straight in win 7 and win 7 works fine.) It just will not be disabled whenever I start my pc. I always have to fight to get the window that gives me the ability to disable.)

    Well, the first thing I did was put in the installation CD and reboot to try the thing "repair your computer".  Charge, said he found a problem, said he has fixed the problem and restarted.  But it always hangs on the same screen of the error.

    So I tried to hit Enter and then F8 as it said to do, but brings me right to the error screen.  I'm stuck, there is nothing that I can do, and I need this computer to work tomorrow.

    Another interesting note is that the recovery on the installation CD tool identifies my system installed Windows Vista... wtf.

    The computer is running fine all yesterday and has worked very well since just after the new year when he has been upgraded to Windows 7. No material changes have been made, and no software changes were made by users in the course of last week.

    The computer is an AMD Athlon II X 4 with 4 GB of RAM on a motherboard Asus M4A78-EM, linking a 64 GB SSD, with a 250 GB drive SATA data/programs. GPU is a Nvidia 260, and it has a CD and DVD player as well. It is connected to our router using the gigabit ethernet interface motherboards.

    It was under windows 32 - bit XP SP3 up just after the new year. When we put in place the new SSD to replace a hard drive older than we have did a new install of XP (slipstreamed with SP3) and then used the upgrade 32-bit W7 Home premium DVD version to upgrade the system. Since then, the system runs flawlessley.

    On the machine is MS office XP, Firefox 3.6.3, AVG 8.5 and a few games such as the Turbine DDO.

    The main user account used to try to solve these problems and to run Windows Update and try installing programs is a member of the Administrators group.

    Firefox works fine, serve, and he plays the games installed very well also. AVG reports to date, with no problems and has detected no threat.

    However, try to view the registry with regedit, or start Viewer event or compmgmt.msc that all do appear the message "cannot verify the digital signature.

    Can anyone offer an opinion on what might be wrong with this facility please, and how we could do to solve?

    Cannot run chkdsk/scandisk as he bought the message "cannot verify the digital signature" etc etc.

    This morning, the machine began to behave differently - stop playing back badly, refused to start Device Manager, open Control Panel correctly etc.

    So, I reset the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM, slapped XP SP3 in reinstalled, then upgraded to Win 7 again.

    Still have no idea what caused the problem, but it seems to be gone now - reinstalled the same applications, AV / programs anti-malware, games, etc and everything seems to go fine now.

    either a device internal who can not remove or physically with the USB bus itself.
    If it was not there, add devices at a time until it is displayed - keep in mind that it is
    possible that there are two (or more) devices in conflict over the issue. Once you
    identified the check of the aircraft with the help of the manufacturer.

    2. same place - double click on the device - driver tab - driver update - to see if that helps.

    3. check with the support of system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for customized systems), their
