[edit] ZW Driver Alternative - Manual Installation of Filter Drivers
[edit] Devices Concerned
[edit] 1 - Copy the driver into your system
Usually c:\windows\system32\drivers (I got my system on E:)
[edit] 2 - Find your device ID
Open the computer manager (right click on my computer->manage) and find your device in the device manager.
On its properties, note its Device Instance ID
[edit] 3 - Register the filter driver
Open a registry editor (regedit), and go to HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services
Install the service. Here are the reg files to import to do it quickly:
[edit] 4 - Associate the driver to your device
Locate your driver in HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum using the device ID your got from earlier.
Add a new multi-string value named "LowerFilters" and set it to the name of the driver. If the data already exists, just insert the value to the first line.
Note: if you can't edit the value, you need to modify the key permissions, in the edit menu.
[edit] 5 - Restart your device
To load the driver into the memory, either restart the device in the device manager, or simply restart your computer.
[edit] 6 - Check that the filter is started
If the driver is successfully loaded into the memory, you should see it in the driver details of your device.
