9. The method of claim 7, wherein locating the operating system function includes validating an executable image of the target software module.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein locating the operating system function includes identifying an entry point for the target software module.
11. The method of claim 10, wherein locating the operating system function includes scanning an image export directory to locate the operating system function within the target software module.
12. The method of claim 1 and further including scanning a registry of the computing system information to determine a string name of the original display driver.
13. The method of claim 12 and further including locating an entry point for the original display driver.
14. The method of claim 12 and further including inserting hooks within default display functions provided by an operating system, wherein the hooks cause the default display functions to forward display commands to the virtual display driver.
15. A computing system comprising:
an original display driver loaded within an operating environment provided by the computing system, wherein the original display driver updates an output display of the computing system based on display commands;
a remote control executive executing in kernel-mode within the operating environment; and
a virtual display driver loaded within the operating environment by the remote control executive, wherein the remote control executive inserts hooks within functions provided by the original display driver to forward the display commands received by the original display driver to the virtual display driver.
16. The system of claim 15, wherein the virtual display driver communicates the commands to a remote client computer.
17. The system of claim 16 wherein the virtual display driver communicates the display commands to the remote control executive.
18. The system of claim 16 and further including a remote control interface executing in user-mode within the operating environment, wherein the remote control interface is configured to scan a registry of system information to identify the original display driver, and further wherein the remote control interface is configured to communicate a base address of the original display driver to the remote control executive.
19. The system of claim 16, wherein the remote control executive is configured to insert hooks within default display functions provided by an operating system executing on the computing system, wherein the hooks direct display commands from the default display functions to the virtual display driver.
20. The system of claim 16, wherein the remote control executive is configured to validate an executable image of the original display driver.
21. An article comprising a computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions causing a computer to:
load an executable image of a virtual display driver;
identify functions provided by an original display driver; and
insert hooks within the functions provided by the original display driver to forward display commands received by the original display driver to the virtual display driver.
22. The article of claim 21 and further including instructions to cause the computer to direct the display commands from the virtual display driver to a remote client computer.
23. The article of claim 22 and further including instructions to cause the computer to communicate the display commands to the remote client computer over a packet-switched network.
24. The article of claim 21 and further including instructions to cause the computer to scan a registry of the computing system information to determine a name of the original display driver.
25. The article of claim 21 and further including instructions to cause the computer to insert hooks within default display functions provided by an operating system to forward display commands to the virtual display driver.
26. The article of claim 21, wherein loading the virtual display driver includes locating a function provided by an operating system to dynamically load drivers.
27. The article of claim 21 and further including instructions to cause the computer to communicate information from a software module executing in user-mode to a software module executing in kernel-mode.
28. The article of claim 27, wherein the information includes a base address of a target software module.
29. The article of claim 28 and further including instructions to cause the computer to validate an executable image of the target software module.
30. The article of claim 28 and further including instructions to cause the computer to locate an entry point for the target software module.
31. The article of claim 28 and further including instructions to cause the computer to scan an image export directory to locate a target function within the target software module.
32. The article of claim 28, wherein the target software module is the original display driver.
33. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
locating a base address of the original display driver; and
communicating the base address to a software module executing in kernel-mode.
34. The method of claim 33, wherein communicating the base address comprises communicating the base address from a software module executing in user-mode to the software module executing in kernel-mode.
35. The method of claim 33, further comprising validating an executable image of the original display driver.
36. The method of claim 33, further comprising locating an entry point of the original display driver.
37. The method of claim 33, further comprising scanning an image export directory to locate a target function within the original display driver.
