In XP Microsoft introduced signing of drivers. i.e. those
that had been tested by Microsoft. You will find a lot of
signed drivers included with XP for all sorts of hardware.
The issue with this is that it takes time and money for
companis to get their drivers signed by Microsoft. So the
latest drivers are unlikely to be signed. I run unsigned
drivers for just about everything: scanner, printer,
graphics card, network card etc.
I would not be too concerned about the unsigned message,
it is just Microsoft's way of saying that they not tested
the driver and the risk of using it is up to you. If you
have problems it is worth using the latest drivers.
I would give this ago in your case and see if it fixes
your problem. If not and you are concerned about unsigned
drivers you can always go back.
