The strange part is, a few months ago, this would application work fine without any issue. Now I get this error.

Was it possibly Win 7 SP1 that changed this? – music2myear Oct 6 '11 at 15:36
It is possible the driver was signed but not timestamped. If you do that, the driver will be considered unsigned as soon as the signing key expires. Contact the driver supplier for a valid driver. – David Schwartz Oct 6 '11 at 17:26

I'd contact the application developer and make sure this is a legit mistake. Drivers that are all the sudden untrusted are a dead giveaway for malware, specifically rootkits.

If it is a legit mistake, you can reboot and hit F8 while Windows is loading up. There is an option to disable the Integrity Check that will then allow installs of unsigned drivers.

I would not suggest turning off Integrity Check. Contact the author of the driver and request a signed driver. – Ramhound Oct 6 '11 at 16:10

@JdeBP: Which I did? F8 + disable is a one time affair. My answer says, contact dev. His is contact dev. Maybe my English is off. . . – surfasb Oct 6 '11 at 16:26
No you clearly didn't if that's what you think xyr comment is. Read it again, starting from the first part. – JdeBP Oct 7 '11 at 5:28
