If you really want to do this, however, you can get the Windows DDK from Microsoft and build a simple real memory access device driver and then install that driver.  Then you can communicate with it from your VC WIN32 application through the CreateFile() and DeviceIoControl() APIs.

Perhaps it would help if you explained what you are trying to do anyway.  There may be a way of doing it without having to go through all the trouble of writing and installing a driver.
