install: different driver for same device, win2k

NTDEV
1

Hello,

Win 2000: For my device there is already installed a driver. I want to
change to a new driver for the same device. After uninstalling it in
device manager I tried to install the new driver with the hardware wizard.
After entering the location of the inf file (and sys.) always an error
message pops up “the driver doesn’t contain any information for your
hardware”. Could it be a problem that this new driver is in a different
until now non existing driver class? What can I do to install it?

Thanks for help
Daniel

Hi,Daniel Luethi

Does your INF file define the same hardware compatibility IDs that the
driver you are replacing defines? Those should look something like
“PCI\VEN_Xxxx&DEV_Xxxx”. Be sure you have defined both a ClassGuid and a
Class. I find it many times easier to simply do an update on the existing
driver, and replace it with mine.
