The NT4 kernel contained most of what is known as WDM (win2k is just NT5 and XP is NT5.1). Almost everything except the plug and play stuff in fact. You can still use the old NT4 API, it is still there, your driver might fail WHQL though as some of these calls are 'disallowed' these days.
The cals in question are the ones that access the hardware, these days it is supposed to be done through one of the system bus drivers. However, you can still wirte your own bus driver, we do, and still pass WHQL, so it is a little murky in this respect.
Also, 2k and XP (NT 5 and 5.1) still run NT4 drivers, so you will have no problem if you use the NT4 DDK to write the driver.
If the device is a network device, and you just stick to using the NDIS api, then it will run on CE (and linux too as there is an NDIS wrapper for linux). If you need to call any of the standard API funcs though your driver will not run on CE.
Windows 98 supports a subset of WDM.
What sort of device is it, because it is fairly straight forward to write a monolithic (hardware to IO manager) driver of the ISA bus on NT4.

moreover, you're looking for a HW forum, but did you ever seen that you were posting on it ?
at last, what do you want to know exactly ?

Hi all
I have Samsung CD-Rom SC 148A ,win 2K, my CD drive is sometime working and sometime notworking. recently i have downgraded my OS from Win Xp home sp2 to win 2k (due to install .Net).
After this degrading its works fine. from the last week itself only it makes trouble. When i saw device manager it shows the device is working properly.
My Internet connection is also breeze for sometimes.
Any body can help me to find out my pbm

Does it sound like it's spinning up, reading a little, stopping, then spinning up again?
I once had a Creative drive which was actually a rebadged Samsung. The disc is held onto the drive spindle by a metal spring clip. Over time this spring weakens causing the disc to fly up off the spindle as it speeds up (the spinning disc acts something like an aircraft wing). A temporary cure for this problem is to take the drive apart and bend the clip back into shape, but I found that it wouldn't last long like this. The permanent cure was to replace the drive with a Toshiba. The new drive has lasted five years in my possession and I've now sold the system on.

cd-drives hmmm... mine is not even spinning up some times, the cd can't be ejected anymore, the hdd light is on, and after some seconds, the cursor doesn't move anymore.
Don't try it, just do it!

Is USB 1.0 forward-compatible with USB 2.0?
I've read a lot of contradictory opinions on some other websites' forums.

Hope I have understood your question correctly. I haven't used USB 1.0 (I think) as even my oldest board had USB 1.1 on it.
If your question is asking if a USB 2.0 device can be used on a USB 1.1 port, the answer is yes, though of course it will only work at 12Mb/s and not USB 2.0's 480Mb/s.
The same if you meant plugging a USB 1.1 device into a USB 2.0 port.
Windows XP will even tell you when you have a 2.0 device plugged into a 1.1 port. It suggests using a 2.0 port to get maximum speed.

Thank you for the replay.
I need a memory stick for an old laptop which runs Win98, it would be good for backup and transfer of data. Unfortunately i cannot figure out what version the USB port is, so i have to think about 1.0 too.

The forward compatibility 1.1 has towards 2.0 is certain but i know nothing about the relation between 1.0 and 2.0 - in this order.

1. How can one find out, from which drive the actual program has been loaded from?
2. How can one find out, what kind of drive that is (floppy disk, RAMdisk, fixed volume, CDROM, etc.)? I found something re Stylebit of Removable Volume, but I did not find how to get it in C++.
Thanks

1) Parse the result from GetModuleFileName
2) Pass the result of 1) into GetDriveType

How do I erase or reset my virtual memory paging file? It would really improve my computer performance but I just simply do not know how. 
If you can help email me at lilbadboy52004@yahoo.com , or reply to the thread.

Is there anything that works with Win98 ? (I have a number of applications which get "Invalid Page Fault" in module <unknown> where the address 00de:00000000 is always the same - I think the swap file may be corrupt)

I don't think that's your problem, but set the swapfile to 0 bytes, let windows reboot itself, then restore it to it's normal size. I think it's set under control panel -system in 98.

|
|
|
|
I think you're right - I've changed the sizeof the swap file and even the disk, and I STILL get the failure. Any idea what it could be / experiments to perform ?

Reinstall windows. After doing that and reinstalling all your apps make a HD image so your next restore will be relatively painless.

Dan, I'm trying to avoid reinstalling Win98 and all my DD's and apps - it's such a pain ! Investigating every other possible avenue first, but agree that OS reinstall may ultimately be the only way !

Which application crashes with this error? Is it Windows Explorer?

It appears to be whatever app I use with my TV Tuner.I had been using Intervideo WinDVR for quite a few months (not everything worked !), but tried a few others and got the same results at some point or other. I'm double-double checking that I have the latest drivers for the MSI 8606 card at present (but I'm fairly sure that I am)

Yes, the drivers seem to be up to date.
