Who has knowledge off these windows/system dll's? I have some programs that need mfc42.dll But they all install their own version. I thought installing the newest version would make all programs happy, but mfc42.dll version 6.0 cannot work as long as vaxed.dll is there. If I remove vaxed.dll, all programs work nice, when vaxed.dll is there some programs crash on mfc42.dll.

Same story with cdfs.dll...

Does anybody know how to install the pulsar <u>DRIVER</u> in <u>ANOTHER DIR</u> but the windows/system-dir? (Like windows\pulsar\vaxed.dll)

vaxed.vxd, is the virtual device driver that controls the I/O of the board.

In Windows near all this type of devices must stay in the windows/system directory.

All the *.dll that are related with this driver will search it in the system directory , is the same with all programs.

About the cdfs is not a dll it is a vxd , "cdfs.vxd" and it must be in windows/system/iosusys , it's purpose is to allow digital transfers from audio CDs

Your solution is to find a compatible version of the other dlls.

Hi gregor,

vaxed.vxd normally is connected with msvcrt.dll, the Library that contains the basic-IO stuff. mfc42.dll is the C++ Library that contains the classes for building Applications. It should not be used for vxd's! So try finding the appropriate msvcrt.dll. The dll's always come as a pair.
Same with cdfs.vxd.
