- OS compatibility
- Posted by Stephen W Boyd on March 8th, 2006
When building the samples for W2K I get warnings telling that certain
drivers are not compatible with W2K. Is there an easy way to find out
why they are not compatible? I have searched the documentation for a
table showing the differences between the various OSes but I can't
find one.

Typically they use one of more kernel service routines that are not
supported. Also, depending on the example there are some that expect other
OS capabilities that were not supported in Win2k.

I had sort of deduced that much. I was hoping that I wasn't going to
have to go through the sample program line-by-line and read the manual
for each function to find out which wasn't support by W2K. It would
seem as though if build.exe is smart enough to know it isn't supported
it should be smart enough to tell me why.
Ah well, enough rant. It is the bitmap sample that I am interested
in. You happen to know why in this particular case?
