Yes I know, and you can read the “truth and nothing but the truth” from the
MS KB Article - Q156344
And within Q142642 you will find :
“The enabler does not contain complete Windows 95 Plug and Play support. For
example, the enabler does not dynamically allocate resources for PnP ISA
devices. It does, however, enable a user interface (UI) that allows you to
manually select system resources that do not conflict with other devices in
the system.”
As you may know, drivers installed for detected devices ( with or without
the PnP enabler ) are still legacy drivers , not PnP drivers.
