I'm trying to be able to adjust the FDD configuration parameters in NT. They are read from the registry by the floppy driver at startup. The floppy driver must be run as a system service in order to provide drive letters for the disk drives.
If I change the configuration data in the registry after the service is started, it does not pick up the new values.
If I change the startup type of the driver to 'manual' it does not assign drive letters. (After starting it manually)
If I let the service start as normal as a system service, then change the registry data, and then attempt to stop the service (to ultimately restart it) I get the error: "the requested stop or pause is not valid"
Any thought on how to get around this? Is it as simple as changing a flag on the service somewhere to mark it "stoppable"? If so, where?
