Hello All,
i am writing a driver for win2000 , and i have just written
a driver entry routine of it.
i want to load my driver manualy, i have done with the
entries (start = 0x3) in registry for manual loading
so How to go for this.
In WINNT we know that from devices in control panel , we can
start it
but in win2000, i don’t see any option like that.
can anybody help me in this regard?.
waiting for your replies…
Bye

I dont think its possible to start the driver manually in Win2K…U can try writing a simple dummy INF that will help u in doing so…
If all that u want is to see ur driver working then just say Start = Auto (in Reg) and restart …
u can aslo add a IoCreateDevice and dummy rountines needed to handle open/close a device … i mean write it as a legacy driver (without any PnP support) and u can see it working …

For non-pnp drivers net start drivername works fine in w2k/xp/.net whatever.
It sort of works for pnp drivers too, in that it will start the driver (load
it and call DriverEntry,) but that is all that will happen.

As Gary stated, setting Start = 3 in the registry and typing Net Start
Yourdriver will handle this correctly.

“I don’t think …” implies you have not tried, and therefore are flying on
deductive reasoning, which ain’t always bad. 
However, in this case, you can start drivers, legacy drivers specifically,
from the command line using the “net” commands. The driver will be loaded,
if it has a viable entry under Services … although the AddDevice function
may not be called unless the PnP manager is happy. Given that the driver is
PnP, in all probability the PnP manger will load it, regardless of what
Start is set too. But that does not mean it will call AddDevice.
