Problem with installing a driver

NTDEV

Hi all,

Is there any way to load a driver for Windows 2000 without restarting a
system ?
Becos just copying .sys file in winnt\system32\drivers will not work.

Please help me out …

For loading non-pnp drivers use the following syntax :
net start
For pnp drivers use device manager.
disable your device and then enable your device in device
manager.
Hope this helps.

Regards,
Vijay

Use the following command

net start

To check if driver started or not simply type

net start
