Be very careful about the filter driver. It is known to break Vista 32 bit OS and in some cases XP as well. You can even lose all your USB device. Luckily you got the PS/2 keyboard. If not, you may have to boot into safe mode and hopefully you can recover from the problems. The author now recommends to use device driver instead of the filter driver. The reason why the filter driver can break system is not 100% clear (may be due to some power policy owner issues). The filter driver sounds very attractive (you can still use the original driver and the original application) but it is also much more difficult to develop a proper filter driver. Last time I tried to use filter driver with PICkit 2 and it caused BSOD. I have not used it since then (2005 or 2006). On the other hand, the device driver works much better. -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
