Hello,

I happen to have a driver that only installs on XP. I want to be able to install it on Windows 7 x86, but it's not possible, since it doesn't recognize it.

Do you know which part of the .inf I have to modify in order to install it?

PD: I have done a compatibility installation and disabled driver signature, but it doesn't work.

Thank you.

You answered your own question.
That is why so many companies remained on XP, because of software incompatibility for software vital to their running.
