Is it possible to install a keyboard filter driver(like ctrl2cap) while windows is running and not having to reboot? I tried it once with a driver loader but I got a BSOD. If it is possible what was I doing wrong? What can I do next time to not get a BSOD? Also, if it is possible, could I do it with c++? Thanks for the help!

    @Paul Nathan: I disagree. The inf file and kernel/DDK API routines needed definitely fall into the realm of programming. If it was a permissions issue, then I would agree that superuser is the right place. – Clay Jul 31 '09 at 20:51

The simple answer is you cannot dynamically load a filter driver. You need to specify a load order when you install the filter driver. I assume the filter driver is layered on top of kbdclass. As kbdclass is already loaded this is not possible.
