sfsync02.sys Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, 

Hi, whenever I boot my PC, I get an error message sfsync02.sys is not digitally signed. I can get past this by disabling driver signature enforcement, but is there a way I can get this driver to be signed again?

Thanks.

Hi again. I managed to resolve the error so I thought i'd put it up here for others who experience it.

I contacted the company Star Force Technologies.

This is what they repied



"Hello,
In order to solve compatibility issue you can either just update the existing installed in your PC drivers using "sfdrvup.exe" from here:
http://www.star-force.com/support/drivers/ ; Run it and reboot your PC after it.
Or you can uninstall the drivers but if the protected application requires a StarForce driver, this driver will be re-installed as soon as you launch the application again and will need the updating after it.
The following procedure will ensure that all StarForce related components are completely removed from your system.
   1. Download the SFREMOVE tool as a ZIP archive: http://www.star-force.com/support/sfdrvrem.zip
   2. Extract and store sfdrvrem.exe anywhere on your hard disk.
   3. Run sfdrvrem.exe.
Thank you for contacting our support group!"



I removed the driver using http://www.star-force.com/support/sfdrvrem.zip and now the problem is solved.

To confirm, there are 2 D's for disable, right?

bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON

Thanks.

OK, I tried the restart and no luck, still need to disable the driver signature enforcement. Any idea's?

Try this

go to run and type

gpedit.msc and click ok

Go to 

User Configuration - Administrative Templates -System -Driver Installation

On the right side you have

Code signing for drivers

Double click >>>select ENABLE option

Go down to OPTIONS

When windows detect a driver without signature

Select IGNORE

and reboot

Let me know if it works

Hi, thanks for the new step, but still no luck.

If I cannot permanently disable the driver signature enforcement, can I get the sfsync02.sys driver signed again?

I believe it's starforce, protection for gaming. So could I delete the file if we cant sign it?
