Virtual PC/Windows CE Emulator - driver blocked in Vista
After I first installed Vista, I would get Program Compatibility Assistant
to pop up twice and tell me that "This driver is blocked due to compatibility issues." The "Check for solutions online" led nowhere, so my only other option was "Cancel" or see if I could find where this driver was installed in Device Manager and uninstall it. I did manage to find a device with the ! in the yellow triangle and uninstall it. Great - now I only get this message once instead of twice. Nothing else is listed in Device Manager as having a faulty driver. All devices are "working properly." I saw a post on a MSDN forum about this problem - http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Sho...46816&SiteID=1 But it refers to a KB article that refers to Windows XP. The stated resolution is to modify boot.ini. I have tried to find boot.ini using the same path - go to Startup and Recovery dialog box in System Properties via Advanced tab, then click on Edit. Only trouble is, when I get to that dialog box, it does not have an Edit option. It only describes what my OS is and what happens upon system failure (generate log). So I have no clue how to resolve this problem. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. |
