    Hello, Is it possible to unload a kernel driver in windows xp? I tried net stop but I am getting "The requested pause or stop is not valid for this service." Is there any other way to stop the driver? It's not a device driver so I can't uninstall it from device manager. Thanks.

      I don't think you can unload it, but you can probably stop it from starting. HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services\xxxx\Start Values are: Boot 0x0 System 0x1 Automatic 0X2 Manual 0x3 Disabled 0x4 Warning: Editing the registry can render your system inoper... blah blah blah

          In Device Manager, there is an option in the view menu to show hidden devices. Click that :)

            Thanks, I will try it tomorrow when I am back to that computer. The driver is loaded by a windows service, will device manager still show it?

              It's probably needed, then ;P . Which service are you so desperately trying to stop?

                Can you check whether its a filter driver? type

                fltmc

                in command prompt. If your driver name is listed there, you can call

                fltmc unload

                  No, it's not a filter driver.
