We are mantaining (under NT 4 SP 5) an application using a proprietary
device driver for an ISA ArcNet board. We have no access to the driver’s
sources, and install it by copying the .sys in the \winNt\System32\drivers
folder and manually setting the registry with the following .ini script:
\registry\machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\NtArc1
Type = REG_DWORD 0x00000001
Start = REG_DWORD 0x00000003
Group = Extended base
ErrorControl = REG_DWORD 0x00000001
Parameters
IoPortAddress = REG_DWORD 0x000002E0
MemBuffer = REG_DWORD 0x000D0000
IrqNum = REG_DWORD 0x07
All this works fine under NT 4.0. Now we are in need to move the application
to a Windows 2000 Professional SP1 platform, so we have tried to install
the driver in the same way on this environment. Unfortunately, we are only
able to see the driver listed in the System Information\Software
Environment\driver (with Manual start, not started), but not under Device
Manager\Non Plug and Play Devices (enabling hidden devices), so we can’t
manually start it to see if it works.
Hoping someone can suggest a way to install such a driver, we thank you all
in advance
