Only book of it's kind
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I bought this book about 5 years ago for work to teach myself how to write VxD's and it was invaluable. Windows Me is the last OS that book pertains to, but if you need to learn how to write VxD's this is the book.
Great for starters

There are not much books on this topic that explain the real problems faced by the starters. This is an excellent book and a MUST for the beginners and students that want to learn system programming
Good basic introduction on drivers for windows 95.

I sure wish I'd had this book when I started out writing drivers, it would have saved me a ton of time and grief. I too, wish there were more information on specific driver types, such as soundcards, but that stuff is in the DDK anyway, once you know what to look for -- and this book will tell you that, and a lot quicker and better than the DDK will. Any of the other required tools will tell you how to install or load a VXD, so I don't consider that a big problem. I could wish that this book also covered Windows NT, but was extemely glad for the plug and play coverage, which other information sources obfuscate badly. Good information on windows innards, useful to an overall understanding.
Practical Examples, Crisp & Organized Survey of VxDs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The book is well organized, so one can navigate directly to a solution, or simply gain a clear survey of Windows Drivers. Perhaps I'm prejudiced because I found exactly the Driver I needed in the samples - but they are well chosen and supplement the book better than most - truly picturesque in the sense that a picture is worth 100 words. I highly recommend this book for a beginning or intermediate VxD developer.
Necessary for VxD beginner, good for all
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book is necessary if you are new to VxDs, easy to read from cover to cover. I recommend it. It has good examples for experienced VxD programmers. Other books are needed for someone writing advanced VxDs. Warning: I found both obvious and subtle errors in some of the examples. They don't all compile and work without changes.
