ndis.vxd and ntkern.vxd
I recently installed a Firewire 3 port adapter. When I
try to add the new hardware, I get an error message saying the ndis.vxd and ntkern.vxd device could not load the device driver. I searched my hard drive for these files, I have the ndis.vxd file, but not the ntkern.vxd and the Windows ME disc I got with the computer (a Dell) doesn't have the ntkern.vxd file either. Any idea what I need to do to fix this? |

ndis.vxd and ntkern.vxd
ntkern.vxd is part of the monolithic vmm32.vxd together with around thirty
other of your device drivers and is not usually present on the system as an individual file. What exactly is the error message you are seeing? -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Michael wrote: I recently installed a Firewire 3 port adapter.

ndis.vxd and ntkern.vxd
While I suspect msconfig / Static VxDs will report that ndis.vxd is
installed on your machine, this uptodate WinME box does not have any ntkern.vxd file. It is in WIN_20.CAB of the retail OS CD, however. There is a ntkern.vx_ file which I suspect was renamed during the upgrade from Win95B to WinME. I suspect ntkern.vxd was only used under Win95B and later. So confirm that you are installing the correct WinME driver for your IEEE1394 card. Search the vendor's website for an undated driver first. -- Jack E.
