Windows 2000 Display driver model driver on Vista
Posted by sastry.murali@gmail.com on August 14th, 2006


We have a "virtual video miniport driver" basically implemented as
mirror
driver. It is working fine on Windows 2K and XP.

When we install the same on Microsoft Vista beta 2, the installation is
going on fine But now clicking on the "Display Settings" we are getting
the following error:

"The currently selected graphics display driver cannot be used. It was
written for a previous version of Windows, and is no longer compatible
with this version of windows. The system as been started using the
default VGA driver. Please contact your hardware manufacturer to get an
updated driver, or select one of the Microsoft provided drivers".

I found an article http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=891387 which has
an fix
for XP for this kind of error. Is there a fix for Vista too?

Please advice...

Sorry, its not a mirror driver but a virtual miniport driver which can
be used for desktop extension etc. Please advice on how to make it work
in Vista.

Thanks,
Murali
