SUMMARY

"The Essential Guide to the Windows DDK" was created to provide help to software developers who are new to Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98 device driver and general VxD development.

"The Essential Windows 9x DDK Resource Database" is a large database containing pointers to DDK resources supplied by Microsoft and third parties.

Together, these two documents help you more efficiently follow a DDK self-study path, based on the specific technology you are interested in.

Both documents are available from the Microsoft Download center as DDKGuide.exe, which is a self-extracting file.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
