Getting start with PCM

Tommy_C_ — Sun, 27 Oct 2013 13:11:41 GMT

Dear Sir,

I have tried to follow the steps in Windows_howto.rtf to setup PCM.

I have built the pcm.exe successfully and tried to use third party driver, say copy WinRing0* and WinRing0x64* with pcm.exe into c:\windows\system32.

When I tried to execute the pcm -1, it failed to load winring0.dll with error 2.

Would you please advice help can I fix it ? I have copy the result into this post.

Thanks,

Tommy

the rtf instructs you to copy the drivers both to c:\windows\system32 and the directory with pcm.exe.

Thanks. Actually, I have already copied both pcm.exe and the third party drivers (4 files) to c:\windows\system32.

After that, I executed the pcm.exe and have the error.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

the drivers must be on your

the drivers must be on your current path. For example

1. Copy all files to c:\pcm

2. chdir c:\pcm

3. pcm.exe
