Hi,

You need to disable driver signing.

From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
Click ÔÇÿMore PC SettingsÔÇÖ.
Click ÔÇÿGeneralÔÇÖ.
Scroll down, and click ÔÇÿRestart nowÔÇÖ under ÔÇÿAdvanced startupÔÇÖ.
Wait a bit.
Click ÔÇÿTroubleshootÔÇÖ.
Click ÔÇÿAdvanced OptionsÔÇÖ
Click ÔÇÿWindows Startup SettingsÔÇÖ
Click Restart.

It install fine after that, however I cant get the mouse pointer to display. Any help would be good

Tabingzee,

Thank you so much for your answer.... It did work And i'm very grateful... Thank You....

This worked perfectly as you instructed... just when you reboot you need to select option 7, at least that was for me.....

When you select that then you can install that driver... after the install you can reboot as normal....


Again thank...... I'm glad this is working..... Thank god for the communities of these projects... thank you to all

Hey guys,

I did the same install a you did and managed to get the auvisio to work as before on win7. But occasionally it won't, no button presses will get into eg. I will have to restart the machine then to get to work again.
Do you have the same sometimes?

Hi,

I still have this annoying problem mentioned above. I noticed that it will occur after my htpc has gone to sleep and resumed. All presses on the auvisio will result in
Restarting eg will solve it. Could one of you please check if you have the same? It would help me to sort out if this is win8 related...

Thanks!
