When Installing SoundTap I receive the following error message "Unable to install Driver."

For XP:

1. Click Start
2. Right click on My Computer
3. Click Properties
4. Select the Hardware tab
5. Click the Driver Signing button
6. You will now have three choices, Ignore, Warn, Block
7. Select Warn
8. Restart your computer
9. Install SoundTap

For Windows 7:
