go to the file menu and set the symbol and source paths here; if you type

!sym noisy

before setting the symbol path any problems will be easier to find. when
you're sure
you have got it right, use these values to set
_NT_SOURCE_PATH
and
_NT_SYMBOL_PATH
in your environment.

how do you know you got it right???

type
bp mydriver!driverentry

and load your driver (plug it in, reboot - whatever you have to do for your
hardware)
and you should be straight into your source.

it may be easier to set your symbol path to
SRV*c:\some_local_sym_dir*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

check out symbol server in the docs. you shouldnt need to worry about the
executable path if you are hooked up with a null modem cable. If you are
looking
at a crash dump you need to set this to match the binaries on the afflicted
machine.

without it!
