Yes, mirror driver can run on the NT-based operation system, such as Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista.

Vista uses two very different display drivers models: XPDM (the style
used on XP and before), and WDDM (based on Direct3D).

You can install an XPDM mirror driver in Vista. Doing so will disable
the “Aero” interface for your desktop, because there’s no reasonable way
to simulate that with XPDM.

There is no such thing as a WDDM mirror driver today.

Thanks

Do we need to unstall HW WDDM driver and install HW XPDM driver before to install Mirror?

I means whether Mirror driver only works with XPDM graphics driver or not.

thanks

No - it switches to Basic mode for you while the mirror driver is active, and will return to Aero Glass when the mirror driver is detached. Have you tried it yet?
