i know this is totally unrelated to windows 7, but i have an issue with some video drivers which refuse to install on windows 2008, i know they work on windows 2003, but i just assume that drivers for these two operating systems are similar ?? does anyone know what i need to change in an .inf file to make a video driver work with 2008. I have the following in the .inf file, would be gratefull if someone could point me in the right direction.
