Hi all
I developed a driver which works fine under W2K . I understand that the
driver that is developed with WDM standard is binary compatible and can be
used in windows 98/Me machines . but when I tried to load the driver I get
the error “The NTKERN.vxd device loader(s) for this device could not load
the device driver.(Code 2) . To fix this , click Update Driver to update the
device driver” . Initially I found that there is no Ntkern.vxd in the system
and copied the file to \windows\system and \windows \system\vmm32
directories . Still I see this problem . Right now I am using Windows Me
machine to load the driver .
Anybody got into this kind of problem ? Any solution for this ?
Thanks in advance

I’m afraid that you make a mistake…The WDM drivers are source-compatible
between Win2k and Win 98 ,yet not binary-compatible.
So you’d better re-compile you driver with Win98 DDK…
Still remember, even the documentation says the WDM drivers are
source-compatible between Win2k and Win 98 , there are some
problems---------some functions work on W2k but not W98, and on W98 some
IRPs(such as IRP_MN_REMOVE_DEVICE) work in a diffrent way from W2k …
Good luck…

Hi,
check the import list from your driver. Not all functions are
supported from ntkern.vxd.
Use the checked build from vxdldr.vxd, than you can see what
function reference are missing.

Hi all
Thanks for the reply . In the sources file I did not mention the DRIVERTYPE
as WDM . I think that’s what is creating problem . I had taken care of not
using the functions that are not available in Windows 98/Me . The function
“IoReuseIrp” which I was using in windows 2K version is not allowing me to
use the line DRIVERTYPE=WDM in sources file. If I define that statement,
then I get the linker error for using IoReuseIrp function . I had some
conditional code which does not use IoReuseIrp if it is other than W2K .
Right now I am using the work around solution for the IoReuseIrp for both
W2k and Windows 98/Me .
Did anybody face this problem before ? I wanted to know anybody has used
IoReuseIrp with DRIVERTYPE defined as WDM in sources file .
Thanks in advance

Wrong, for instance, I used the 1394 stack binaries from w2k betas with
Win98 Gold.
They are binary compatible to some extent. It is possible to write a
binary which will run on both OSes.
