Hi,
What kind of driver do you write? Some drivers (like storage and file
system for example) never can be WDM.

If you are writing a network driver, it would be best to write your
driver as a Windows 2000 driver (not necessarily WDM) and then port that
driver to Windows 9x. I can send you some information on how to do
that.

What driver namely?
What is the difference between writing vxd and wdm
driver??
WDM is always better, but not all kinds of Win9x drivers can be WDM.
Sometimes being a VXD is required.
Which one is better??
WDM.
Can i write the same as wdm driver instead of vxd???
Not always. Disk drivers, for instance, cannot be WDM ones. The filesystems too.
But drivers for your own hardware which does not fit to any well-defined class - yes, WDM is OK.
Multimedia hardware drivers - again WDM is OK.
Network adapters and storage hardware controller’s drivers are miniports - neither VXD nor WDM.
