WG311v3 in Windows 7

I am currently running Windows 7 64bit (beta of course) on my desktop. I have a Netgear WG311v3 in my machine. I installed the latest drivers in Win7 and I get this error:

"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"

I suspect this is a Windows thing but I'm not too sure.

I have also run the install as administrator, in Windows Vista compatibility mode, and I have tried changing the PCI slot.

And don't tell me that "Win7 is only in beta you should have waited hurrhurr" B***S***

If no one here is able to help me, please, tell me where I should go for help with this problem.

I have also posted this on the Netgear forums:

Problem solved.

I spent all of my night searching Google for answers. I eventually came across that by pressing F8 right before Windows starts you get a menu, similar to what you get with any other Windows. But this has an option to "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement". Doing this defiantly worked(Otherwise I wouldn't be saying this =p).

There is a downside to that fix though. You would have to go into that menu every time Windows booted. But no worries! Shortly after I found the solution to that! There is a program called "ReadyDriver Plus 1.1" that will change the boot settings so it automatically selects that option for you!

I have yet to test this ReadyDriver Plus 1.1 though. So, I can't be 100% sure it works.
