Introduction The Hardware manufacturers do not only develop and build special devices, but are responsable as well for the delivery of appropriate drivers, which are needed by the OS for the detection and a proper function of the related hardware device. Sometimes it happens, that hardware manufacturers do release or have released device drivers, which are running fine with a specific Windows Operating System and the HardwareIDs of a device, but cannot be manually installed from within the Device Manager because of a faulty or incomplete INF file.
What has been modified?
To avoid any misunderstandings: Although you read about "modded drivers", I have never changed the code of the drivers themselves (= *.SYS files). The only files, which have been customized by me, are the associated files with the extension *.INF (for XP additionally the file named TXTSETUP.OEM). These *.INF and *.OEM files are no drivers, but just contain the needed informations for the OS about how to get the associated real driver (*.SYS file) installed. Since all *.INF and *.OEM files are simple text files, each user can easily read their content by just opening the related files with the Windows Editor (notepad.exe) and compare it with the original files.
