VxD

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

(Virtual Device Driver) A special type of Windows driver that allows Windows to perform functions that cannot be done by applications communicating with Windows in the normal manner.

For example, the operating system kernel is a VxD. See kernel.
