Hi

I found serial.sys has been locked by system , so I cannot replace it by my
sample
code built serial.sys .

Is there any way to unlock some built-in generic driver in Windows XP and
Vista ?

Thank you .

The oft-recommended way is to go into the Services\serial key in the
registry and change ImagePath to point to something else.

You shouldn't be replacing serial.sys anyway. It doesn't belong to you.
What are you really trying to do here?
