    Can it be done ?

    ive got 2 security key fobs both use the same driver however 1 works with the newer drive the other works with the older driver

    can i install 2 versions of the same driver and the correct usb key fob is identified ?

    im using windows 7 home premium 32-bit

    Couldn't you potentially alter each drivers' allowed device IDs to only match with the working device? This would assume that each fob has a different device ID, though.
    So... the old driver excludes the newer fob, and newer driver excludes the older fob.

    Just thinking out loud here.

    hmmm maybe


    if i remove the device id from sets of drivers and rename one of the driver files and point it to that it may work.
