.sys and .inf files

[James_Emerson]

I want to preinstall drivers for my capture card.
The drivers for the capture card has 2 files.

one is .sys and the other one is .inf

I put .inf in the inf folder
I put .sys in the system32/drivers

When I installed a capture card the Windows auto found inf it needed, but it failed to a find .sys file.

What folder should i put .sys file-in?. I tried system32, winnt, system32, and inf so far..

It is a Win2k SP4

You could scan your registry for that .SYS file name and export the registry lines that specify it for later inclusion in the registry, I suppose. I do that with refresh rate info. Save it as a seperate .REG file then double click to load it into the registry after I install new vid drivers. That way I don't have to re-enter all that info for each resolution and refresh rate and color bit depth. Saves me a ton of time and hassle.

Not sure how to fully automate that, but if you can find a way to merge the REG add-on with the full REG via a batch file or what not, it may just work.

Good luck.
