Hi
I have a Win NT 4 driver which simply tests interrupt latency. I wish to do these tests on Win2K using the same driver. How do I install a legacy Win NT driver on
Win2K. I currently have a file mydriver.ini for Win NT, I run 'regini mydriver.ini' to put the contents of mydriver.ini into the registry. I then copy mydriver.sys into
system32\drivers and restart. Upon restarting, I can start the driver from the 'Drivers' section of control panel. When I perform the same actions on Win2K, I cant
start the driver cause the 'drivers' applet does not exist. The driver does not appear under the 'Non-Plug and Play' section of device manager which is where it should be.
Any Idea's - I dont want to mess about porting the driver to Win2K just to perform a simple Interrupt latency test!!
