Setting up Smart Sync - not working

Hello all,

I'm trying to setup smart sync on a windows 7 64 bit desktop.  The problem I'm getting is right after it's done installing I get this box that flashes on the screen "Windows requires a digitally signed driver" . Then I click on the dropbox icon and it says Smart Sync is experiencing an issue... , and then dropbox proceeds to start downloading every file.

Things I've tried, I disabled the anti virus, I've ran the intall program as as admin, I've set the computer to online only, I went into GPedit and regedit and told the system to ignore the driver signing.  I'm at a loss.

Please help, thank you

      The same thing happened with that installer, it downloads, installs perfectly, i login, select online only, then I get the driver error, then it has a problem connecting to smart sync and starts downloading all the files locally
