- Starting and Stopping a driver
- Posted by Nicolas Mugnier on July 31st, 2003
Hi,
NT4 had a panel to start and stop drivers without rebooting. Where can I
find this panel in Win2000 ?
It seems to no longer exist... so how can I do start and stop a driver now ?

Right click "My Computer" select "manage" when the "Computer Managment"
window appears choose "Device Manager". For non-PNP driver you can also use
the command line "NET START ..." and "NET STOP ...".

If it is a newer WDM driver, you can disable it with the
device manager.

For PnP drivers, you can only Enable/Disable devices in Device Manager.
Disabling the last device triggers the driver unload.
For non-PnP drivers, use NET START and NET STOP - they are the same as in NT4.

When you have Device Manager open, click "Show Hidden Devices" on the view
menu. Then a new class of devices will show up as "Non-Plug and Play
Drivers". The familiar start and stop functions are in there for these type
of drivers.
