Apparently something about BDA? Have no idea what that is yet, off to do some reading :`)

Thanks Tripredacus, it is WES, and I have found the MSDN forum from your links (many thanks) http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/embeddedwindowsmisc/threads I'll try posting here to see if they can help me further. Thanks again!

Thanks guys, really appreciate that. jaclaz: Didnt know it was just a componentized version, great news - device driver should still work tho I would have thought - I'll check to see what services and applications are installed. The error I was getting was specific to the driver, saying something like - "this driver does not contain information about your hardware". Which is odd, its definitely the freecom usb dvb-t stick (it says freecom on it) and I got the drivers from their site. Might try the device on an XP VPC image to check the driver is oki, or maybe get the drivers from the CD. Tripredacus: Your talking about EWF http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Write_Filter which can be managed. I also found a GUI for it http://www.thevod.org/ which was nice to use. EWF is used on XPe implementations on TV's for the good reason that the TV may loose power at any point (someone turning it off incorrectly or just sudden loss of power) and could corrupt the XPe install. Very nice feature imho. The first time I used it I installed chrome, winrar etc... rebooted and it had all disappeared, took me some reading to find out that it had EWF and what it was :¬) -- I think this indicates my current experience level with this flavour of XP :`D Is there any reading I can do on device drivers for XP that you know of? Any more info on XPe would be great too. Thanks so much guys! Loque

Hi All, Apologies if this is the wrong place for this post, I couldn't find a specific section for XPe and seeing as it is a cut down version of XP I'm hoping this is the best place to post. I'm looking to modify an XP driver to work on XPe - and am guessing, could be very wrong, that somewhere in the driver it specifies which OS's it will support, and I would like to change this. This is because I have recently got a monitor with XPe installed (I am very lucky) and thought it might be possible to attach a USB DVB-T to it. I had one kicking about (Freecom USB DVB-T) and downloaded the XP drivers. After reading up and learning about EWF on XPe I attempted to plug in the device and install the driver - unfortunately XPe wouldn't allow this, and I am guessing it is because somewhere, in the driver, it specifies which OS the driver is compatible with, and XPe being an unusual flavour of XP, it wouldn't allow it. I could be wrong, XPe could have some differences that wont allow the driver, and that in normal circumstances XP drivers work on XPe? screen: http://www.samsung.com/us/business/commercial-display-solutions/LH40MRTLBC/ZA os: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP_Embedded#Windows_XP_Embedded DVB-T: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Freecom-Digital-DVB-T-Freeview-receiver/dp/B000ALAWQ6 If theres any help, reading or guides you know of (even just on XP drivers or XPe) I would really appreciate the help.
