    that is a issue with Vista SP1, it will not allow unsigned drivers to install. The only way is to reboot F8 for more options then there is a option which states something along the lines of allowing unsigned drivers Vista will boot normally and you can use the driver. Only issue is you must do this each time you intend on using that driver.

    instructions from xda

    Dunno if anyone actually uses 64 bit Vista around here, but if you do, I made a 64 bit version of the USB driver. It's unsigned, so before installing it you'll have to put Vista into test mode or it will refuse to load the driver:

    1) Type "bcdedit /set testsigning on" at an admin command prompt
    2) Reboot
    3) Check to see if the desktop says "Test Mode" on the corners

    (I'm not paying $300/yr for a kernel code signing certificate)

    After that you should be able to install it like a normal driver. If adb seems to be freezing occassionally, try using adb_fixed.exe instead (don't forget to kill the adb server first).
