How to install TOTALIO

TOTALIO emulates WIN9x serial and paralell I/O on WIN NT & WIN 2000 systems
Download the TOTALIO from here and unzip the files to a temporary folder.

copy the TOTALIO.SYS to the \WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS folder

run commandprompt and go to the folder where instdrv and the TOTALIO.SYS
is unzipped to

write the command :
instdrv totalio SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\TOTALIO.SYS

Run regedit and look at the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\totalio

Be sure the ImagePath is set to "SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\TOTALIO.SYS"
change the Start to Start = 2

//II think Start=2 means authomaticly and Start=3 means manual.
Now you need to reboot the computer.

If you need to stop the TOTALIO driver just write
NET STOP TOTALIO at command prompt !
NET START TOTALIO will start it manually.

When the totalio is started it could make problems for other software using I/O
It might be better to run BDM software in a batch file which starts the totalio service and stops it after the
BDM software is closed. This is how a batch file could look like:
NET START TOTALIO
TranxBDM.exe
NET STOP TOTALIO

Works great with TranxBDM and the BDP 1.15.

I did not get the Nokia Serial Downloadserver to work in WIN 2000/TOTALIO.

It is also another way to set the driver to start authomaticly :

Open the device manager and show non-plug & play devices and then I set the totalio device to authomatic startup. Now it's running after the reboot.

Here is my TOTALIO.REG file

Use View Source and save it as TOTALIO.REG . The reg file can be added to your WIN2K system by doubleclicking on it.
Unfortunatly I did not know how to get ASCII characters from the REG file and only got HEX values for the ASCII characters.
