As Paul described in a later thread, I don’t think you’re running into
WFP (you’re not trying to replace a file that shipped with the o/s are
you?), but if you want instructions to disable WFP under Windows 2000 go
to http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/sfp/wfp.htm.

It looks like you are running head on into Windows 2000’s System File
Protection, intended to prevent installers from overwriting system
libraries. There is a gadget in the ResKit to allow you to replace a
system
file, but I can’t remember what it’s called, and I don’t have the ResKit
or
docs handy at the moment.

I am sorry I missed the earlier mail (if any). Is it Win2000 you are
talking about or is it Win NT.
I’m talking about Win2000. (NT and I have come to an understanding of
sorts.)

To replace a system file you can boot to DOS (Don’t boot Win2K) and
then overwrite the file with your own.
An NTFS filesystem?
Anyhow, as good a guess as this is, the file is
\win2000\system32\drivers
is the one I want to use, and is remaining the one I want to use.
I *just* found that by pressing the right number of buttons and
rebooting
and saying hte right prayers it’s now using the new driver. So it is
possible,
I just don’t know *how* to make it work for certain.
Is this stuff written down somewhere?
