Re: LEGACY_DRIVER question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry




Then, does the driver actually start? does it create some device?

I dont see my driver in device manager's non plug and play section if
Root\LEGACY_MYDRIVER\0000 is not present in the registry entry of my driver.
Again even if I start my driver that entry doesnt appear in registry and I
dont see it in my device manager.

Perhaps the enum entry is added only if the driver has been started.
So if you don't see the registry entry, this driver won't be in dev.
manager as well.
