Windows cannot verify the digital signature - Microsoft Surface, Windows RT

I'm trying to run an .exe file (not winload... just a simple software) on my Surface and the following error:

"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. »

I searched the forums and others who have experienced the same problems have usually comes to install the new Windows or on a PC where the solution is to reinstall with a CD... that I'm not on the Surface.

I also tried fiddling around with the UAC settings and the .exe running as an administrator with no luck.

Could someone help me please? Thanks in advance!

You cannot run ANY executable meant to be windows on the RT. Windows RT surface is based on the NVidia Tegra processor and can not run code written for the Intel x 86 processor range.

All programs must be downloaded from the Windows store.

    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


    "The start menu with EasyBCD by NeoSmart Technologies edition should solve your problem, it provides a graphical front-end to the BCDEdit Command line that makes it easy for you to set the boot settings and change the entries start on the new window manager.

    http://NeoSmart.NET/DL.php?id=1   "

    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.)

    I tried to run regedit a reason unrelated, and it came with a dialog box error with "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.

    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.

    As if you reinstalled to a new HD using that the required all defined recovery Tosh disk drivers would have been installed in this process.

  • Windows 8 Beta - cannot verify the product key

    Hi all

    After you have installed Windows 8 beta last year on my laptop, I bought the upgrade to the full version of Windows 8 and received a product key by e-mail as part of the purchase or download.  Now, I'm trying to use the same disk of Windows 8 Beta to install the OS on my desktop.  After you enter the product key, I get a message saying "cannot verify the product key - check your installation media."

    Can someone explain why the beta key does not work and if I get a new key?

    Thank you

    No, you can't, but what you can do is, use the following link to download and create the installation media that you can use to upgrade other computers.

    Please note, if other computers are running versions of 32-bit or 64-bit, you will need to create a respective installation media corresponding to the architecture of the facilities running on these computers (32 or 64-bit):

    If you must reinstall Windows 8 or you want to install it on one partition and you do not have installation media, you can create it using the installer of Windows 8. To create a support, you must use a PC running Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7, and it must have the same architecture (32 or 64-bit) than the PC you want to install Windows 8.1 on. You will also need your product key of Windows 8.

    You can usually find your product key in your online order information, in the confirmation email of your purchase, or on the DVD packaging. The product key will look something like this: XXXXX - XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

    Once you have your product key and you are on a PC running Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows, follow these steps:

    1. Run the program installation of Windows 8 .

    2. When you are prompted to run or save the file, choose run

    3. When you are prompted to enter a product key, enter the 25-character product key, that you received when you purchased Windows 8.1.

    4. When you are prompted to install Windows 8.1, select install by creating media and then click Next.

    Select the type of media you want to use: either a Flash DRIVE or a DVD.

    To create a USB flash drive

    1. Click on a USB flash drive.

    2. Plug the USB key into a USB port on your PC.

    3. When you are prompted, select the USB key that you want to use, and then click Next.

      If you have files on the USB flash drive, it will remove them.

    To create a DVD

    1. Click on the ISO file, and then select the location where to save the ISO file.

    2. Insert a blank recordable DVD into your DVD drive.

    3. Burn the ISO of the DVD file using Windows disc Image burner, or another program DVD burning.

    Please note that you will have a unique individual license (product key) for each computer you want to upgrade.

    You can buy additional product keys to:
