Problem with loading drivers on Windows Vista64

NTDEV
1

These drivers get loaded on Windows Vista64. The error is ERROR_DRIVER_BLOCKED.
NOTE: Drivers are 32 bit and signed.

Please tell me what I have to do.

Thanks

Brian

in 64 bit system only 64 bit driver can be loaded

For 64-bit Vista, separate build environment is provided in WDK.

Also Vista 64 allows only signed drivers to load.

The option might be building the same driver code in Vista 64-bit
build environment, test signing it using sign test tool provided in
WDK and then load the drivers.

Regards.

I seriously doubt it, unless you have re-defined the term “driver” to
include application DLLs. What kind of driver was this?

No 32bit SYS binary can be loaded on x64 OS.

Also, no unsigned SYS binary can be loaded on Vista and 2008 x64.
