    - replacing Unidrv UI dll. Hi, I'm developing a printer driver.It doesn't do any rendering. All it does is displaying the UI to capture print settings. That UI should have my own property sheets. Is it possible to replace Unidrvui.dll with my own ui dll for Unidrv minidriver? Or can I have a dummy rendering dll and my own UI dll? What could be the implications? Thanks, Kiran Tag: Device could not start. Tag: 34397

    - Rendering Plugin's EnablePDEV Hello, I am currently developing a common rendering plugin for 5 serial printers, In EnablePDEV() I tried using the pPrinterName parameter to differentiate between my 5 printers so that I can insert customized code for each printer model. My problem is, when I set the port to FILE: It seems that the value of pPrinterName is always the default printer(not the currently selected printer), It works fine when set to other ports like LPT1. Is this a specification? Or maybe I'M doing it all wrong, Can anybody tell me how to get the currently selected printer during or before EnablePDEV timing. Thanks in advance -andrew Tag: Device could not start. Tag: 34389

    - Interrupts in PCMCIA device driver Hi, I have been struggling with this problem for some time, so any help from someone who has written a PCMCIA device driver would be greatly appreciated! I have written a working Win2K device driver for a PCI device, and am now writing a device driver for the PCMCIA version of the device (some code included below). My driver does not receive interrupts although the call to IoConnectInterrupt() succeeds. I have gone through the PSCR smartcard device driver code in the DDK samples. I am also familiar with the DisabeISAToPCIRouting registry setting - didn't make a difference in my case. Is there something different one needs to do to receive interrupts in a PCMCIA device driver as compared to a PCI device driver?

    - a question about win2000 ddk PORTIO sample!!!!!! I use win2k DDK to build the PORTIO sample in DDK successfully. But something is wrong when I use the gpdread and gpdwrite to test the driver. I use command line "GpdWrite -b 1 2" to write the number 2 to assigned 'base port address + 1', and then "GpdRead -b 1 "to read out. But the number read out is always 0xFF. I also tested writing a number every 1000 milliseconds and reading every 600 millisecond, but the read-out number kept 0xFF. what does the sample mean? could you tell me why? Softice driver suite(driverworks) contains similar sample, things are same. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________ Test OS: win2000 server Develop Environment: win2k ddk, visual studio 6.0 sp5 Tag: Device could not start.

    - Loading filter driver during OS install I have a upper device filter driver that I need to load during install (ie. Hit F6 for scsi drivers). I was wondering if this has been done (I'm sure it has) and how to do it. I wonder about whether the txtsetup.oem actually loads and parses the inf early in the setup or not, and how you would actually code up the txtsetup.oem. Do you need to need to include a copy of the driver that your filtering (and it's inf) on your driver disk as well, or will this land from the media in time to be present when the filter driver's inf is parsed. -Dan Tag: Device could not start.

    - Palettes and kernel-streaming driver (USBCAMD2) Hello, I am writing a USB camera mini-driver using USBCAMD2. I have the basic driver working, but need to get the video into the desired format for proper viewing in DirectShow. The video is 8-bit grayscale, and is interlaced (I receive two fields in one "frame" from the camera and interlace them in the CamProcessRawVideoFrameEx () function in my minidriver. They are displayed on the screen using RGB8 (8-bit color.) I would like to know how I can describe (or set somehow) the color palette as a grayscale palette. I've tried converting to RGB24 in the minidriver and replicating the 8-bit pixel value that I receive from the camera in the RGB fields. This works, but is so slow that I'm dropping frames. Any suggestions or hints would be appreciated. Sincerely, Howard M. Harte ======================== Harte Technologies, LLC.

    - HP deskjet on Windows XP The driver for this printer is included in WinXP and installs okay when plugging in the printers USB cable. My problem is that on the paper size list there is no "custom" size as refered to in the manual. I want to print on 3X5 index cards which is also not on the list. Even if I select a larger card like 4X6 and set margins to reduce it to 3X5 size it prints outside the margins. HP says I will have to wait for them to update the driver.

    - How does windows handle PCMCIA Ok, I really need to know how windows 2000/XP handles the insertion of a PCMCIA card. What I have discovered with my card is that occasionally (4-5%) of the time it works (I have found that in this case card enable is activated) and the rest of the time it fails (card enable is not activated). This only occures though within the VideoMiniport drivers. The PnP Functional Driver I wrote does not seem to have this problem. So if anyone can tell me/point me how exactly windows handles insertion or how the Videominiport deals with it, I wolud greatly appreciate it. -- Brian V.

    - Visual Studio library path size limit I have a project which takes quite a lot of library paths, due to our environment setup. The problem now is that the line in the *.dsp filefor the linker is more than 4Kb long. Is there a limit on how long the line may be? I mean the # ADD LINKER32 <linkeroptions> in the dsp file. When I paste in the project file all the library paths then Visual Studio can compile it, but when I exit the project VC asks me to safe the changes to the project file and when I try to reload the project the line is crippled. Any ideas how to circumvent this size limit? I tried to spread the line over several lines which worked, but as soon as I change something in the settings Visual Studio will rewrite the dsp file and create the long line again. -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch.

    - VideoDriver and PCMCIA Function Configuration Registers Is there a way to access the Function Configuration Registers is a VideoMiniport driver. I can access (somewhat) I/O memory (given to me through VideoPortGetAccessRanges) but nothing comes for the FCR's. Of course, given that the card gets mapped to ISA (determined from the VIDEO_PORT_CONFIG_INFO) I may not need to access the Registers. Also, any one who is famialar with the internal workings of the VideoPort functions, what PCMCIA Configuration Registers are needed for successful operation. Currently we only support a subset of the registers PC-Card requires because we are a CF-Card, could this cause a problem? Thanks in advance, yet again. -- Brian V.

    - How can I get selected option items from property sheet page? Hi. I am developing a printer driver which prints any document to an image file. I am using Unidrv.dll and Win2000 DDK sample Oemui.dll. There is one more component, rendering plug-in. I added a new property sheet page and a option item using a method in Oemui.dll like below. // source code // HRESULT hrOEMDocumentPropertySheets(PPROPSHEETUI_INFO pPSUIInfo, LPARAM lParam, IPrintOemDriverUI* pOEMHelp) { LONG_PTR lResult; ............ // Do action. switch(pPSUIInfo->Reason) { case PROPSHEETUI_REASON_INIT: { DWORD dwSheets = 0; PCBUSERDATA pUserData; POEMUIPSPARAM pOEMUIParam = (POEMUIPSPARAM) pPSUIInfo->lParamInit; HANDLE hHeap = pOEMUIParam->hOEMHeap; POEMDEV pOEMDev = (POEMDEV) pOEMUIParam->pOEMDM; COMPROPSHEETUI Sheet; DLGPAGE PageProp; // Init property page. memset(&Sheet, 0, sizeof(COMPROPSHEETUI)); Sheet.cbSize = sizeof(COMPROPSHEETUI); Sheet.Flags = CPSUIF_UPDATE_PERMISSION; Sheet.hInstCaller = ghInstance; Sheet.pCallerName = GetStringResource(hHeap, ghInstance, IDS_NAME); Sheet.pHelpFile = NULL; Sheet.pfnCallBack = OEMDocUICallBack; Sheet.pDlgPage = CPSUI_PDLGPAGE_ADVDOCPROP; Sheet.cOptItem = 1; Sheet.IconID = IDI_CPSUI_PRINTER; Sheet.pOptItemName = GetStringResource(hHeap, ghInstance, IDS_SECTION); Sheet.CallerVersion = 0x100; Sheet.OptItemVersion = 0x100; // Init user data. pUserData = (PCBUSERDATA) HeapAlloc(hHeap, HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY, sizeof(CBUSERDATA)); pUserData->hComPropSheet = pPSUIInfo->hComPropSheet; pUserData->pfnComPropSheet = pPSUIInfo->pfnComPropSheet; pUserData->pOEMUIParam = pOEMUIParam; Sheet.UserData = (ULONG_PTR) pUserData; // Create OptItems for page. Sheet.pOptItem = CreateOptItems(hHeap, Sheet.cOptItem); // Initialize OptItems Sheet.pOptItem[0].cbSize = sizeof(OPTITEM); Sheet.pOptItem[0].Level = 1; Sheet.pOptItem[0].Flags = OPTIF_COLLAPSE; Sheet.pOptItem[0].pName = GetStringResource(hHeap, ghInstance, IDS_SECTION); Sheet.pOptItem[0].Sel = pOEMDev->dwDriverData; Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType = CreateOptType(hHeap, 3); Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->Type = TVOT_3STATES; Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->pOptParam[0].pData = GetStringResource(hHeap, ghInstance, IDS_TIF); Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->pOptParam[1].pData = GetStringResource(hHeap, ghInstance, IDS_JPG); Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->pOptParam[2].pData = GetStringResource(hHeap, ghInstance, IDS_BMP); Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->pOptParam[0].IconID = IDS_TIF; Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->pOptParam[1].IconID = IDS_JPG; Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->pOptParam[2].IconID = IDS_BMP; Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->Count = 3; // Add property sheets. lResult = pPSUIInfo->pfnComPropSheet(pPSUIInfo->hComPropSheet, CPSFUNC_ADD_PCOMPROPSHEETUI, (LPARAM)&Sheet, (LPARAM)&dwSheets); } break; ............ } pPSUIInfo->Result = lResult; return S_OK; } And it works well. There was a newly added property sheet page in printing dialog. I'd like to let the user select an output file format(bmp, tif, etc.) through the property sheet page(using TVOT_3STATES in above source code) and add some more option items in the same sheet page. The problem is that I don't have any idea how I can get the results of what user selected through the option items in the property sheet page. There are some answers to similar question but not enough to understand how and what. I'd like to use the selected options in rendering plug-in module. Does anyone know the solution to this question? If possible, please show me some sample source codes. Or explain in detail. Thanks in advance. Tag: Device could not start. Tag: 34333

    - Multiple IRP requests from one driver to another Hi All, My driver uses standard serial port driver. It set RTS signal and wait for CTS signal change. 1. Driver send IRP to serial port driver with control code IOCTL_SERIAL_WAIT_ON_MASK and doesn't wait for it. 2. Driver send IRP to serial port driver with control code IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_RTS and wait for it. 3. Driver wait for first IRP through the Event, passed to IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest. This approach does not work. User mode application is locked and driver can not be unloaded. May be the IoSetCompletionRoutine is solution ? Thanks.

    - Protocol driver, don't understand Hi, I try to understand how to write my protocol driver for a WLAN adapter. I read a sample in the PocketPC Platform Builder (Passthru). I don't understand everything, and there's still one thing that I don't get: how should I use this "driver" in my application to retrieve the packets? Can you give me some information to better understand a protocol driver and how to use it in an application. Thank you /Marco Tag: Device could not start. Tag: 34326

    - PrintProcessor Installation problems on Win98SE/Me Hello All, I developed a minidriver and relative Print Processor for our Pos printer product on Win98Se and Me. Then I wrote a .INF file for install the package. The printer is installed correctly, but it doesn't catch my PrintProcessor. All the files (minidriver + printproc.) are copied in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. But when I go to check with 'Regedit', what the installation has written into registry, I can see that no subkeys for my printprocess are been made in: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Wi ndows 4.0\Print Processors; while the subkey of my printer is present, and into it the field "Print Processor" has "WinPrint" as value. By the way, I started to develop my PrintProcessor from Win98 DDK , modifing the Winprint sample included in src\printers\spooler' subdirectory. And, I took infos for insert printprocess from W98 DDK documentation. Where is my mistake? Somebody have any idea? Please, Help me. Below I inserted my INF file. TIA Giandomenico.

    - How can I get the results from newly added property sheet page? Hi. I am developing a printer driver which prints any document to an image file. I am using Unidrv.dll and Win2000 DDK sample Oemui.dll. There is one more component, rendering plug-in. I added a new property sheet page and a option item using a method in Oemui.dll like below. // source code // HRESULT hrOEMDocumentPropertySheets(PPROPSHEETUI_INFO pPSUIInfo, LPARAM lParam, IPrintOemDriverUI* pOEMHelp) { LONG_PTR lResult; ............ // Do action. switch(pPSUIInfo->Reason) { case PROPSHEETUI_REASON_INIT: { DWORD dwSheets = 0; PCBUSERDATA pUserData; POEMUIPSPARAM pOEMUIParam = (POEMUIPSPARAM) pPSUIInfo->lParamInit; HANDLE hHeap = pOEMUIParam->hOEMHeap; POEMDEV pOEMDev = (POEMDEV) pOEMUIParam->pOEMDM; COMPROPSHEETUI Sheet; DLGPAGE PageProp; // Init property page. memset(&Sheet, 0, sizeof(COMPROPSHEETUI)); Sheet.cbSize = sizeof(COMPROPSHEETUI); Sheet.Flags = CPSUIF_UPDATE_PERMISSION; Sheet.hInstCaller = ghInstance; Sheet.pCallerName = GetStringResource(hHeap, ghInstance, IDS_NAME); Sheet.pHelpFile = NULL; Sheet.pfnCallBack = OEMDocUICallBack; Sheet.pDlgPage = CPSUI_PDLGPAGE_ADVDOCPROP; Sheet.cOptItem = 1; Sheet.IconID = IDI_CPSUI_PRINTER; Sheet.pOptItemName = GetStringResource(hHeap, ghInstance, IDS_SECTION); Sheet.CallerVersion = 0x100; Sheet.OptItemVersion = 0x100; // Init user data. pUserData = (PCBUSERDATA) HeapAlloc(hHeap, HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY, sizeof(CBUSERDATA)); pUserData->hComPropSheet = pPSUIInfo->hComPropSheet; pUserData->pfnComPropSheet = pPSUIInfo->pfnComPropSheet; pUserData->pOEMUIParam = pOEMUIParam; Sheet.UserData = (ULONG_PTR) pUserData; // Create OptItems for page. Sheet.pOptItem = CreateOptItems(hHeap, Sheet.cOptItem); // Initialize OptItems Sheet.pOptItem[0].cbSize = sizeof(OPTITEM); Sheet.pOptItem[0].Level = 1; Sheet.pOptItem[0].Flags = OPTIF_COLLAPSE; Sheet.pOptItem[0].pName = GetStringResource(hHeap, ghInstance, IDS_SECTION); Sheet.pOptItem[0].Sel = pOEMDev->dwDriverData; Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType = CreateOptType(hHeap, 3); Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->Type = TVOT_3STATES; Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->pOptParam[0].pData = GetStringResource(hHeap, ghInstance, IDS_TIF); Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->pOptParam[1].pData = GetStringResource(hHeap, ghInstance, IDS_JPG); Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->pOptParam[2].pData = GetStringResource(hHeap, ghInstance, IDS_BMP); Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->pOptParam[0].IconID = IDS_TIF; Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->pOptParam[1].IconID = IDS_JPG; Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->pOptParam[2].IconID = IDS_BMP; Sheet.pOptItem[0].pOptType->Count = 3; // Add property sheets. lResult = pPSUIInfo->pfnComPropSheet(pPSUIInfo->hComPropSheet, CPSFUNC_ADD_PCOMPROPSHEETUI, (LPARAM)&Sheet, (LPARAM)&dwSheets); } break; ............ } pPSUIInfo->Result = lResult; return S_OK; } And it works well. There was a newly added property sheet page in printing dialog. I'd like to let the user select an output file format(bmp, tif, etc.) through the property sheet page(using TVOT_3STATES in above source code) and add some more option items in the same sheet page. The problem is that I don't have any idea how I can get the results of what user selected through the option items in the property sheet page. There are some answers to similar question but not enough to understand how and what. I'd like to use the selected options in rendering plug-in module. Does anyone know the solution to this question? If possible, please show me some sample source codes. Or explain in detail. Thanks in advance. Tag: Device could not start. Tag: 34322

    - 1394 Isoch on Windows 2000 I have developed 1394 driver similar to 1394diag. Isoch operations(no special requirements like TAG or SYNC) works almost. But very few times, I observe the buffers are not transmitted even if they are attached. I see it on analyzer. I stop Isoch and start it. Still Isoch wont transmit. No error in allocating Isoch buffer resources, no error in attaching buffers but simply my Isoch completion callback never called. Attached buffer callback is called and no error is reported. I dont understand what is causing the problem. No error is returned for attach buffers. Finally I found a work around, not really useful :( Unplug the cable and plug again. Allocate Isoch buffer resources and attach buffers and Isoch talk. It works now. So unplugging and plugging is causing something to reset and Isoch transmit works. I am not undertstanding circumstance that causes this problem. But I observe very few times. If I initiate bus reset through software command, no use. Only unplugging and plugging device will help. I have temptation to blame microsoft 1394 bus driver because after attaching the buffer, it is bus driver that transmits the Isoch data. But I couldn't find out the circumstances clearly that are causing the problem nor the way to debug. Any gliches in Isoch operations after every bus reset? Thanks, Raj Tag: Device could not start.

    - ksproxy INF File Basic Question I have been studying the INF file associated with one of the usbcamd2 examples (the USBINTEL.INF) and creating a commented version such that I can grasp all the details. One bit that is not quite clear yet involves the interfaces. Living as I do in the past and being most comfortable with device objects/symbolic links rather than device interfaces, it took me a while realize what the [.Interfaces] section was actually doing. Now that I realize that AddInterface registers the interface(s) supported by the KM driver (as opposed to, for example a COM interface which gets registered in other ways), I am a bit unclear on what is happening in the subsequent AddReg section. The relevant parts of the INF file are: [Intel.USBDCam.Interfaces] AddInterface=%KSCATEGORY_CAPTURE%,GLOBAL,Intel.USBDCam.Interface AddInterface=%KSCATEGORY_VIDEO%,GLOBAL,Intel.USBDCam.Interface [Intel.USBDCam.Interface] AddReg=Intel.USBDCam.Intf.AddReg [Intel.USBDCam.Intf.AddReg] HKR,,CLSID,,%ProxyVCap.CLSID% HKR,,FriendlyName,,%USB\VID_05D0&PID_FFF4.DeviceDesc% HKR,PageAliases,"{71F96464-78F3-11d0-A18C-00A0C9118956}",1,21,E8,C2,3D, 13,47, d2,11, 0xba, 0x41, 0x0, 0xa0, 0xc9, 0xd, 0x2b, 0x5 HKR,PinFactory\1\Interfaces\{5BB95400-52BB-11d2-BA41-00A0C90D2B05},,, Now for the questions: 1) A question about interfaces. It is now my understanding that, in general, the registry entries specified in [Intel.USBDCam.Intf.AddReg] only have meaning in the context of the interface, for example KSCATEGORY_CAPTURE. In the context of some other interface, for example MY_CUSTOM_INTERFACE, there could be some completely different set of registry settings that could be used as needed. Thus, the fact that KSCATEGORY_CAPTURE and KSCATEGORY_VIDEO can be registered with the same AddReg section indicates that the implementors of those two interfaces chose to require the same registry settings. It does not indicate anything profound about interfaces in general. Is this correct? 2) Regardless of the answer to 1, what is the meaning of the listed entries? CLSID seems to be set to a GUID defined in ksproxy.h for what reason, I do not know. Perhaps to permit multiple implementations of ksproxying? I would have thought this was known by the KSCATEGORY_CAPTURE GUID. FriendlyName is clear. PageAliases is completely unclear. I cannot find any mention of it via google or the directx docs. This appears to be the only inf file it exists in. PinFactory is equally opaque. It exists in several inf files, but with different GUIDs. Is this something I need to understand or can I just close my eyes and "la, la, la....". Regards, Tom Udale PS one last slightly random question. Does an AddReg section always "Device Parameters" subtree or is it specific to the top level inf section? Tag: Device could not start. Tag: 34274

    - negotiate paper sizes with printer driver? Hi, for a bitmap printer driver I would like to adjust the paper size to the printed area. Consider e.g. a image drawing program (MsPaint) that wants to print a 600x600 pixel image into a printer driver with 600dpi. Is there a possibility to negotiate a custom paper size of 1x1 inch? As a second example, take the acrobat reader, who has the information about the used paper coded into the pdf. There is an option in the Advanced dialog "Choose Output Tray by PDF paper size".

I searched this newsgroup and found that a few other people where in the same situation. The proposed method seems to build upon the oemuni sample and to hook into the FilterGraphics method. Before I start coding such a driver on my one, I would like to ask, wether there is a reference implementation of such a driver, or wether anybody can provide his source code to the community?

    - HID Minidriver for Media Center PC remote Hi, I am trying to develop an HID Minidriver that interfaces to a Media Center PC remote control using the Consumer IR block inside a Super I/O device. This device is on the LPC bus, but the DDK says it's ok to have HID Mindrivers on buses other than USB. In any case, the sample drivers are very helpful, especially the new virtual HID Minidriver in the Windows 2003 DDK. (kudos to Kumar Rajeev & Eliyas Yakub). However, I got stuck when I tried to write a HID_REPORT_DESCRIPTOR for the remote. I studied this Microsoft document: Using the Remote Control Device with Windows http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/remote_control.asp I also read the entire DDK section on Interactive Input Devices a few times. And I read most of the USB Device Class Definition for Human Interface Devices (HID) Ver 1.1 along with the USB HID Usage Tables Ver 1.11. I am still confused about how to write a report descriptor that meets the requirements specified in the Microsoft document about "Using the Remote Control Device with Windows". Usage page and ID's are provided for mapping the WM_INPUT messages but the document does not explain what usage page and ID's should be used for the APPCOMMAND_ and VK_ buttons. Would it be just Keyboard? (usage page 0x01 usage ID 0x06). Would Microsoft Media Player see these buttons? Is it correct to map the entire remote using a single report descriptor? Is there some kind of fatal flaw in my approach? Given the limited scope of the Media Center PC remote, would it be possible for Microsoft to publish the report descriptor that meets the requirements of the remote? Thanks in advance for your help.

    - Non deterministic register access in HwFindAdapter Now that I'm on the right path with my video miniport driver, Im having some difficulties with the PC-Card. First off, when I wrote a standard miniport I was able to successfully retrieve resources and map them and then turn on the video display. This worked 100% of the time. But that was not the correct method for dealing with a display. So i rewrote it using only the VideoPort functions. I do get the cards resources, just a small register range, and am able to map them. But when I go to enable the card (tried in both HwFindAdapter and HwInitialize) and the device turns on, maybe 5%-10% of the time. I can't explain this. All I'm doing is writting a simple value to one of the mapped registers. And let me point out that under the other method I was getting 100% success so I do not think it is anything dealing with the PC-Card. Any help you can give would be appreciated. -- Brian V.

    - problem: a pci device with no memory IO or port IO addresses?? hi, I am a newbie in device driver development area and also don't have detailed knowledge on pci device internals, design specs etc. in addition, let me tell you that I am not looking for a way to write a device driver (at least for now :) but, I am confused with the my system's pci device configuration and cannot explain this sitution. please find the deails below: the hardware of concern is a PIII module with the popular Intel PIIX4E chipset (82371AB/EB) and running Windows XP as the OS. first let me emphasize that PIIX4E is a multi-function pci device and those are: 1. PCI-ISA bridge 2. IDE Controller 3. USB Controller 4. Power Management Function when I look inside the 'device list' window, all functions BUT the power management function are listed. this was the first confusion point for me. after that, I had tried some utilities, apps (like pci sniffer, windriver) hoping to list all details of my enumerated pci devices. the result was still amazing to me. With all of such utilites I was able to see all the functions of my pci devices including the power management part, but this time I had realized that even though some of the devices are listed with a corresponding memory IO and/or port IO resources, some -like power management device- do not contain any memory IO or port IO resources. my question is -simply- how can this (a pci device with no memory or port IO sapce) be? is this something meaningfull, or am I missing something with pci technology. for instance, is it possible that the system knows this device as a "bridge" (I don't know between what)? from another point of view, when I want to read/write a single register of power management function, which addresses should I use? I think I have to write a device driver to run on XP but which IO should this driver access?

    - UI customization of Unidrv UI Hi, I'm developing a Unidrv mini driver. Is it possible to completely remove the UI provided GPD and use my own design of UI by using a UI plug-in? i.e I want to remove 'Layout', 'Paper/Quality' pages and use my own property sheets. Thanks, Kiran Tag: Device could not start. Tag: 34218

I have a PCI driver for our custom I/O board.

I generated the device driver with Walter's wizard. I
modified the Toaster class installer for our device. I
used a combination of the DDK inf generator and existing
inf files.

It looks like the driver worked just fine for a couple of
months.

Now, when I have one PCI card in the system, the device
manager reports: This device cannot start. (Code 10)

I can power down the machine, add a second card to the
same bus segment, and both cards work fine when I power
the system on.

Where should I start to look?

First have you run ChkInf on the INF file? Do that and fix everything it
complains about even warnings. Second, try turning on the setup logging,
see "Setting SetupAPI Logging Levels" in the DDK. Third, do this under the
checked build and turn on PNP tracing see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q314743 under Device
Installation Debugging.
