Who made the Network Card?...(NDIS I am guessing is refering to Network Driver Interface Specification........

Knowing who made the card you can then verify at their appropriate web site as to which OS that particular driver can be installed on..........

This method of determining if the driver is good or not will prevent any unecessary corruption or complications of you software....

Hi D,
.VXDs are virtual device drivers
it's a win95 transport driver and has to be checked if the transport driver can be installed/ used under WINME... making sense, any clearer? hope so...

What protocol(Transport) are you trying to install.....can you give any exact information about the files....like how many the exact name....and what they where used for in Win95...any other information would be great..........

I have two files: setup info. file & virtual device driver file
1. - ( NDIS.inf) and
2. - ( NDIS.Vxd) virtual driver
Dealing with a win95 network transport protocol, need to check that this can be installed on WInME ( probably will have to change registry details - no idea!)
(been looking at MS DDK )
has this made it any clearer??( even though repeated myself a bit)

Look you have repeated yourself several times............but in none of the attempts have you made any progress with what your trying to ask everyone.......

if you want to know if NDIS.vxd is used in WINME .......... yes it is......all you have to do Is go to the Network Settings....and add any protocol you want.....there is no need to install something from windows 95 unless your using some obscure protocol that joe blow from wherever wrote(Doub't that anyways.....if so y would you be on a Microsoft box)...ndis.vxd is used by several different protocols.............

Here for all the information you ever wanted to Know.......
Windows 95 Architecture

Windows 98 Architecture

anywayz...good luck....
