Problem on 64 bit processor
in [Device Drivers]
|
From: Peter on 22 Nov 2005 05:15 I have ndis IM driver - tested on w2k+sp4,w2k3+sp1,wxp+sp2 on 32 processors. All is ok. When I install this driver on w2k+sp4 on 64 bit processor (Intel EM64T) driver crashes, no blue screen appears and system restarts without blue screen. Question: When I want to use ndis IM driver on 32 windows systems installed on 64 bit processors - do I need to add some defines, or does need my driver code some adjustments for running on 64 bit processor ? (not 64 bit windows, only on 64 bit processor) Peter

From: Susaant on 22 Nov 2005 08:21 If he is using a 32 bit OS he does not need to compile it in 64 bit mode. The reason the machine is restarting without blue screen is because you will have to set the options for it correctly. Am not sure of win2k but on my XP setup in Properties of 'My computer' -> Advanced -> Startup and recovery -> Settings Here uncheck the option of 'restart automatically' in system error case. This should give you a blue screen to debug your problem.

EMT64 processors will happily run 32-bit versions of Windows in which case, yes 32-bit drivers will load and will presumably be quite joyful. Bill M.
