I had a problem with my core drivers for the host not installing (so you 
can teather the BBB to a desktop via USB to miniUSB on the BBB). It just 
came up with red X's every time.

There are a lot of "fixes" out there that are pretty flakey so I thought 
I'd post the most linear path I found.

Windows now comes in 32-bit and true 64-bit versions. I'll save you the 
time and aggravation on this that find out first if your OS is 32 or 64 
bit. Download the appropriate flavor of the BBB drivers from here (official 
site): http://beagleboard.org/static/beaglebone/latest/README.htm

The problem if its not installing at all is that Windows REQUIRES driver 
signing by default.

Hit <win> X and select "Command Prompt (admin)"

and type the following:

bcdedit /set testsigning on

Now its critical to understand what this does; it PERMANENTLY sets the 
default on your box to prompt you if its OK to use an unsigned driver. 
Since it prompts every time, I believe it secure. A lot of other procedures 
take a lot of time and frankly don't work on my Win 64 machine (burned up 
hours on it :( The Beagleboard core drivers are unsigned so make sure you 
get them from a trustable web site.
