ERROR 0x80070002, or getting rid of the Driver Signing issue

[Zippy1970]

I just stumbled upon TileProxy a few days ago and just like everybody else got the "Error 0x80070002" at first.We all know what the problem is. Windows will not load TileProxy because it tries to load an unsigned driver and Windows will not let it. Yes, I know there are several "easy" fixes ike turning off UAC, or booting windows with "Driver signature enforcement" disabled, or using "Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider", or using "ReadyDriver Plus." But the problem with all these solutions is that it always requires extra steps to be taken, plus it really puts your system in an undesired state.Now seeing that TileProxy hasn't changed since 2008 (is it still being maintained at all?), I was wondering why we don't get it signed and get rid of the problem once and for all. I have some experience with code signing (I'm a software developer myself) so if driver signing is the same, it only costs about $400-$500. With such a big user base it shouldn't be all that difficult to get to that amount. I'm actually willing to set this up (and donate the first $20 to the cause).Of course I realize I'm just another stranger asking for money, so if there are any doubts about my intentions, one of the moderators can contact me through PM and I'll have him verify my identity (and integrity).Does this sound like a good plan?Edit: Forgot to add, the reason I can set this up is because individuals can't get a certificate while software companies can. And like I said, I'm a software developer myself so my company shoud be able to get a certificate without a problem.

That sounds feasible. First, we need a reasonable number of participants to make the collection.
