Pointer Port Driver on Windows ME

NTDEV
1

Dear All,
I have a pointer port driver which talks to Serial Ports. This code
was written for Windows XP/2k. Now i need to support Windows ME also. I
heard that we need to write a vxd on Windows ME to interface with VMOUSE.

Can’t i get around just doing changes to code i have for XP? Do i
need to develop a VXD for this from scratch?

If some changes would be sufficient, how do i go about this?

thanks
Sesha.

VMOUSE is completely 16 bit, you will most likely have to go the VXD
route and pretty much scrap most of the win2k/xp code.

Hi Doron,
Instead of the VXD route,How would it be,if we write a Driver which
communicates with the Serial/USB stack and is itself a HIDMini Driver ?.How
do I specify that my driver is a HIDMini Driver (Is it through .inf or
through some API)?

Thanks.
Best Regards,
Sai
