ABSTRACT:
A method and system for handling device driver interrupts in a computer system. An interrupt handling Method is initiating prior to the occurrence of any interrupts in the computer system. The interrupt handling Method is executed to a waiting state, and execution is then resumed when an interrupt occurs. When an interrupt is detected control is transferred to the operating system and the interrupt is dismissed.
