Is there any special component that I need to install to support legacy
device drivers? I have an old driver from our Windows NT 4.0 days that
seems to run just fine under regular XP. However, the embedded system
does not seem to see the driver. Under regular XP, it shows up in the
"non-plug-and-play" section of the device driver manager. No such
section shows up in the embedded version. It looks like all appropriate
sections in the registry have been properly initialized.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Gary

Hi Gary -

I just looked in the database and it appears there is a class installer
named "Class Installer - Non-Plug and Play Drivers". Please ensure that is
in your build. These class installers enable those nodes in the device
manager so it looks like you might be missing that.

Cheers.

Thanks for the tip, but I think I found the problem. I didn't have the
ISA support component installed. This device driver talks to an old ISA
board that we developed in-house. Once I installed ISA support,
everything came up fine.

Thanks again,
Gary Edstrom
