    - Understanding NdisMAllocateMapRegisters Hi Is it required to call NdisMAllocateMapRegisters before the ndis miniport calls NdisMAllocateSharedMemory(). (as documented in the ddk)? Can't the physical address returned by calling NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() passed to the dma master on the device? My understanding is - if an Ndis Buffer passed by protocol drivers has to be mapped directly and passed to the dma master, then a NdisMStartBufferPhysicalmapping() should be called. To do this, a map register is required, hence NdisMAllocateMapregisters() should be called prior to calling NdisMstartBufferPhysixcalmapping(). But if the buffer passed by the protocol driver is copied to a buffer alloacted using NdisMAllocateSharedMemory(), then NdisMAllocateMapRegister () is not required. Please correct me if Im wrong. basically, What does NdisMAlloacteMapRegisters() do and how and when should an ndis miniport use it.? Thanks in Advance, suu.

    - serial COM port driver Hi All, I am working on a project regarding the serial COM port. I have to design my own protocol for the serial communication. In the protocol there are some bits for Read/Write, address(bank, offset) and data to be transferred. Would anybody please tell me where I can find the Serial COM port driver, especially the driver that provides the funcation calls/APIs that allow me to call them by using my own protocol? Thanks a lot for your help. Tag: Difference between Windows NT 5.0 and NT 5.1 booting process Tag: 75425

    - Help on NDISUIO hi everyone, i am doing a school project to obtain network adaptor information, and i am TOTALLY new with ndisuio. after reading so many articles here, i managed to use the CreatFile and NDISUIO_BINDING_DEVICES model to get a list network adaptors in my laptop... but the returned list is something like /device/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, a serial strange number so called adaptor name, i dont understand what is that? and i am looking for something more specific, like wether it is a wireless or ethernet card...really dont have a clue on how to do that..T_T i am seeking you guys help, seems you all quite pro on this... Millions of thanks!!!! Michael Singapore... Tag: Difference between Windows NT 5.0 and NT 5.1 booting process Tag: 75412

    - CreateFile returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE I'm a newbie playing with implementing the filter control device object that is described in the Microsoft Q262305 KB article and the Oney book (Chap 16). I'm working with a USB keyboard driver stack that actually belongs to a barcode scanner (which provides keyboard scan codes as input). I've successfully played and manipulated kbfiltr.sys to intercept the barcode scanner input and put it in a device extension buffer. I've now spent some time trying to mesh the toaster/filter "control device object" code with the kbfiltr example. The resulting upper filter driver compiles and installs. The named "control device object" (MyBarcode) appears in the Winobj utility's "\Driver" folder. The name also appears in the !devstack for the device object shown below. However, when I make the CreateFile call from my user-mode app, it's always failing. Here's the CreateFile call: HANDLE hdevice = CreateFile( _T("\\\\.\\MyBarcode"), GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL); Any ideas would be appreciated. 1: One thing I just thought of is that the name of the control device object is the same as the executable. Do they need to be different names? 2: Do I need to work with IoRegisterDeviceInterface? lkd> !drvobj kbdclass Driver object (866982c8) is for: \Driver\Kbdclass Driver Extension List: (id , addr) Device Object list: 862773c8 8604be38 86697900 lkd> !devstack 8604be38 !DevObj !DrvObj !DevExt ObjectName > 8604be38 \Driver\Kbdclass 8604bef0 KeyboardClass1 862643f8 \Driver\MyBarcode 862644b0 863423f8 \Driver\kbdhid 863424b0 86355ab8 \Driver\hidusb 86355b70 0000005d !DevNode 86290488 : DeviceInst is "HID\Vid_065a&Pid_0001\6&3742c807&0&0000" ServiceName is "kbdhid" lkd> When I call CreateFile from my user mode app, however, it fails with INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.

    - User mode winmm driver sample needed! Greetings! I want to write a virtual audio device driver to capture the sound output of another windows application. I have come across previous posts in this news group http://tinyurl.com/862cv http://tinyurl.com/8ssl6 that suggest writing an old-style winmm user mode driver using a wodMessage callback. This sounds like exactly what I want. The problem is that I would really need some working sample code to get started, otherwise I would have no idea how to structure such a driver. Even though the MS documentation tells you some things about how to go about it, I don't quite feel that I get what I need to start writing code just by reading the DDK help files... I have looked in the samples provided with win98DDK as well as the latest DDK, but to no avail... Can anybody point me to, or provide me with some sample code for this? I would be extremely grateful! regards - Jonas Tag: Difference between Windows NT 5.0 and NT 5.1 booting process Tag: 75394

    - Problem with WdfRequestRetrieveOutputMemory Hello to all, I'm developing a driver for an USB device using KMDF. This is my problem (please, evaluate also my approach): I want my driver to be completely asynchronous, in order to do so, I process DeviceIOControl requests in this way: when a new request arrives, I create a new WDFREQUEST using this code: WDF_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES_INIT_CONTEXT_TYPE(&_object_attributes, MY_IOCTL_CONTEXT); WdfRequestCreate(&_object_attributes, NULL, &_tx_request); In the context structure I store original user mode request and an offset. I create a new WDFMEMORY object using this code: WDF_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES_INIT(&_object_attributes); _object_attributes.ParentObject=_tx_request; WdfMemoryCreate(&_object_attributes, PagedPool, MYMEMTAG, _tx_buffer_size, &_tx_memory, &_tx_buffer); _tx_buffer_size is larger than original request input buffer because I need to add some protocol bytes. After, I write the request to bus driver using this functions: WdfUsbTargetPipeFormatRequestForWrite(_tx_pipe, _tx_request, _tx_memory, NULL); WdfRequestSetCompletionRoutine(_tx_request, _my_tx_completion_routine, NULL); WdfRequestSend(_tx_request, WdfUsbTargetPipeGetIoTarget(_tx_pipe), NULL); In _my_tx_completion_routine first, I verify if all gone right, if yes: I've to read device response considering that I have to remove protocol bytes and some other informations that are not interesting for user mode application; I use this code (we are always in my 'write phase' completion routine): WDF_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES_INIT_CONTEXT_TYPE(&_object_attributes, MY_IOCTL_CONTEXT); WdfRequestCreate(&_object_attributes, NULL, &_rx_request); Next, I copy IOCTL context structure received as parameter (it contains the original user mode request and its response buffer offset): _new_ioctl_context=WdfObjectGetTypedContext(_rx_request, MY_IOCTL_CONTEXT); RtlCopyMemory(_new_ioctl_context, _tx_request_context, sizeof(MY_IOCTL_CONTEXT)); I create a new WDFMEMORY object that will be used to read from device: WDF_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES_INIT(&_object_attributes); _object_attributes.ParentObject=_rx_request; WdfMemoryCreate(&_object_attributes, PagedPool, MYMEMTAG, 512, &_rx_memory, NULL); Keep in mind tha last code line because I'll return on it later. Always in my 'write phase' completion routine I attempt to read from device using this code: WdfUsbTargetPipeFormatRequestForRead(_rx_pipe, _rx_request, _rx_memory, NULL); WdfRequestSetCompletionRoutine(_rx_request, _my_rx_completion_routine, NULL); WdfRequestSend(_rx_request, WdfUsbTargetPipeGetIoTarget(_rx_pipe), NULL); At this point I free the write request using WdfObjectDelete() and I leave _my_tx_completion_routine callback. Once device responds, _my_rx_completion_routine callback is invoked: from status block I verify that read request was completed fine and that I received from device the expected amount of data. The 'Request' parameter is the read request that I've created in my 'write phase' completion callback; and now, finally, the problem: before complete the original user mode request, I've to copy to its output buffer the data that I've received from device excluding protocol bytes. When I use WdfRequestRetrieveOutputMemory on 'Request' parameter to parse received data, it always fails due to STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST error. But, the stranger things must still arrive; in order to avoid the problem I have tried the following: do you remember the WdfMemoryCreate call in _my_tx_completion_routine callback? If I replace the NULL last parameter with a pointer to a buffer (in order to store output buffer pointer in the context structure instead of using WdfRequestRetrieveOutputMemory) a bug check occurs and my test machine restarts. All parameters supplied to WdfMemoryCreate are valid (except for the last parameter that is currently a reference to PUCAHR _buffer=NULL). It is still not the end: if I bring back to NULL the WdfMemoryCreate call last parameter, and exacly below I use WdfMemoryGetBuffer, I obtain a pointer that, once stored in the context structure, when _my_rx_completion_routine is invoked, stores the data received from the device. At this point I can complete the original user mode request correctly. What's wrong with first attempt using WdfRequestRetrieveOutputMemory? What I'm mistaking? Thank you for the patience.

    - STATUS_PENDING returned by lower driver for IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_SUBMIT_URB Hi All, I have the following code (SendAwaitUrb) that I got from W. Oney's book. I like this book, very useful, a lot of samples, just a great educational source about USB drivers! Probably I do something wrong because my IoCallDriver always return STATUS_PENDING. I call SendAwaitUrb and IoCallDriver from within my Lower function filter driver. I attach the filter driver below the function driver and I am expecting to be able to send Irp with URB to the bus driver. I am a bit concerned about the code pdx = (PDEVICE_EXTENSION) fdo->DeviceExtension; In my filter's AddDevice function I have successfully attached the filter to the driver stack like this: pdx->NextLowerDriver = IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack ( fdo, pdo). I do IoCallDriver in SendAwaitUrb function like this: IoCallDriver(pdx->NextLowerDriver, Irp); I will be very thankful if you can help me identify the error. Here is the code of the function: #pragma PAGEDCODE NTSTATUS SendAwaitUrb(PDEVICE_OBJECT fdo, PURB urb) { // SendAwaitUrb PIO_STACK_LOCATION stack; IO_STATUS_BLOCK iostatus; KEVENT event; NTSTATUS status; PIRP Irp; PDEVICE_EXTENSION pdx; PAGED_CODE(); ASSERT(KeGetCurrentIrql() == PASSIVE_LEVEL); pdx = (PDEVICE_EXTENSION) fdo->DeviceExtension; pdx->NextLowerDriver = TopOfStack; KeInitializeEvent(&event, NotificationEvent, FALSE); Irp = IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest(IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_SUBMIT_URB, pdx->NextLowerDriver, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, TRUE, &event, &iostatus); if (!Irp) { KdPrint((DRIVERNAME " - Unable to allocate IRP for sending URB\n")); return STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES; } stack = IoGetNextIrpStackLocation(Irp); stack->Parameters.Others.Argument1 = (PVOID) urb; status = IoCallDriver(pdx->NextLowerDriver, Irp); if (status == STATUS_PENDING) { KeWaitForSingleObject(&event, Executive, KernelMode, FALSE, NULL); status = iostatus.Status; } return status; } // SendAwaitUrb Best regards, Dim Tag: Difference between Windows NT 5.0 and NT 5.1 booting process Tag: 75389

    - USB ISO CRC-16 handling I have some design questions related to USB ISO stream error handling. It is well understood that Isonchronous USB streams are not guarenteed to be error free. I long assumed that this means that they are not even error detected. I assumed that the protocol parts of the USB packets (PID, etc) where checked by the host controller and if there were errors in that USBDI would set and error code in the Status field of the USBD_ISO_PACKET_DESCRIPTOR. I had further assumed that errors in the data part of the packet were my responsibility to discover. Thus when designing an internal packet format for a device using isonchronous transport to send data to the host, I included a checksum in the packet header so the driver could validate the header information. Now I am looking more carefully at things and I realize that there is a CRC-16 field used to guard the data portions of ISO transfers. The usb2 spec in section 8.3.5 states that this CRC will give 100% coverage of 1 and 2 bit errors and that the host controller cacluates these checksums as it receives packets and will reject a packet that fails the CRC. And of course I now see that there is a USBD_STATUS_CRC error code (duh - if it was a snake it would have bitten me) that I assume is set when the host controller detects a CRC error. My question is two-fold. First, I am now thinking that if I recieve a completed "in" transfer that is marked as USBD_STATUS_SUCCESS I can assume that the host controller has validated the CRC-16 and thus all the data for that packet is valid within the bounds of the CRC-16 as described in 8.3.5. Thus I can toss my checksum in the data and blindly assume the contents of the data is valid. Is this correct? Secondly, USBD_STATUS_CRC has the "stall bit" set (i.e. USBD_STATUS_HALTED). As I understand it the pipe will have to be reset if I get this error (or perhaps after some number of errors within a URB - I seem to recall reading this somewhere, though I cannot find it now). Is this correct? And if so, is this not kind of harsh for something that is more or less supposed to happen from time to time anyway? I see many places where it is said you should not use ISO pipes if your application cannot tolerate occasional transmission errors. So given the choice of an ISO pipe I would think that it is implied that occasional errors are tolerable. In such a case I think it would be incumbent on the driver to handle such troubles and that USBDI would simply mark the error but otherwise not interfere with the state of the stream. But yet this does not seem to be the case. Am I misreading things or is there some way to decrease the sensitivity of USBDI to transmission errors when dealing with ISO pipes?

    - Disk Class Upper Filter - FILE_REMOVABLE_MEDIA Using the DDK samples (toaster, diskperf), I've been able to write a basic disk class upper filter. I would like to correctly determine if the device is removable media (i.e. usb thumb drive, iPod, etc). If my filter driver is added before PartMgr in the UpperFilter reg value, the below code works correctly.

    - MouseFilter Hi I need to get a filter running where i can add my own mousepackets to the mouse from a usermode program. One of the things i want with the driver is to start and stop it runtime. So first i wanted to get the moufiltr example from DDK running as an upperfilter with the help of an inf file but somehow i cannot get it to work. I tryed to register it as an Class driver for all mouse and i made a service. Only when i start the service from my application with startservice it gives me an error code and the service doesn't run. With the help of some lecture i went to see at the device manager at the mouses but when i look at the option "class upper filters" it doesn't give me any info on if moufiltr is hooked on the mouse. I do see mouclass hooked on it at the upper class filter. My question is , can i run the filter this way or do i need to do it in a different way?

    - USB and IOCTL_PAR_QUERY_DEVICE_ID in language monitor gets errors Trying to use a USB to parallel adpater to communicate with a printer. Ocassionally get an error in the language monitor on a call to pIniPort->fn.pfnGetPrinterDataFromPort for IOCTL_PAR_QUERY_DEVICE_ID. GetLastError: [23]-Data error (cyclic redundancy check). Once this error occurs, the printer does not respond and all subsequent language monitor calls get the error. The error does not clear until the USB cable is disconnected and reconnected, where the printer then responds. What is causing this error and is there a way to clear this error from a language monitor in order to continue operations? The MSDN documentation indicates that the query for IOCTL_PAR_QUERY_DEVICE_ID is supported by USBPrint.sys and that a PJL language monitor that supports this query is compatible with USBPrint. I also tested IOCTL_USBPRINT_GET_1284_ID and got the same results. Any advice on this is greatly appreciated.

Is it safe to assume that if IoGetDiskDeviceObject succeeds that the device object is a volume that I can filter?

    - Cleaning up registry after IM driver crash Hi, I have following problem with IM driver development: When driver crashes before it can be normaly uninstalled, I boot another system on the same machine and delete system32\driver\mydriver.sys . Because it is not correct way for uninstalling in registry stays some data and on every system start "New Hardware" dialog appears. When I see into Device Manager, all installed and crashed drivers I see in NIC section like:"DriverName Miniport #number" with yellow exclamation. When I try to uninstall it from device manager, it says: "Failed to uninstall device. This device may be required to boot up the computer." So after some time number of these not functional devices is high. Before some time I had tried to solve it and clean all registry keys with information about this not functional device, but it's not simple, probably I forgot something or I deleted something good and must reinstall all machine... Does exist way to set somewhere startup type for these not functional devices and then to uninstall them by correct way ? Or some other trick how to remove these devices ?

    - accesing drivers on different IRQ levels Hey team.) There's a perticular problem with the driver I am developping. My main driver runs at passive and the other one at higher - looks like apc or even device. I can only access a function that doesn't give me IRP but has the important data that the main driver should receive. How do I transfer that the fastest way. I created a thread in main drv. that waits for events but that goes very slow and async occurs. When I use KeWaitXXX in higher level drv - machine most likely restarts. The best way would be to disable the other interrupt, handle sync/transfer and enable it again. But I don't know how. What would you suggest. Big thanks for answers.

This version adds quiet mode - the script attempts to reduce all output to stdout to the minimum, simplifying the use of ddkbuild in automated build procedures. Credit goes to Beverly Brown at Mercury Computer for the quiet mode implementation. The Vista DDK (build 5270) is supported. WDF (KMDF1.0) is released and 3.13 supports that as well. DDK's going back to the Windows 2000 DDK continue to be supported. Visual Studio 2005 is supported. In addition a lot of bugs have been fixed.

    - Who is the parent? (IRP_MJ_INTERNAL_DEVICE_CONTROL) Hi All, I am using USBBuildVendorRequest to format an URB and then send the URB to the bus driver. In case of XP this will be generic parent driver, for Win2K this is usbhub.sys. I am sending these urbs successfuly if I am inside a function driver. The parent driver for a function drivers is the generic parent/bus driver. It happens that I cannot modify officially the function driver code and I have to use the driver as it is. I am implementing an upper function filer driver. Using the same mechanism for sending urbs my code into the filter's custom IOCTL handler looks like this: // Create the URB urb = (PURB)ExAllocatePool(NonPagedPool, sizeof(struct _URB_CONTROL_VENDOR_OR_CLASS_REQUEST)); UsbBuildVendorRequest( urb, URB_FUNCTION_VENDOR_DEVICE, sizeof(struct _URB_CONTROL_VENDOR_OR_CLASS_REQUEST), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, IoBuffer, NULL, InputBufferLength, NULL); // use the original irp as an internal device control irp nextStack = IoGetNextIrpStackLocation(Irp); nextStack->MajorFunction = IRP_MJ_INTERNAL_DEVICE_CONTROL; nextStack->Parameters.Others.Argument1 = (PVOID) urb; nextStack->Parameters.DeviceIoControl.IoControlCode = IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_SUBMIT_URB; ... ntStatus=IoCallDriver(deviceExtension->TopOfStackDeviceObject, Irp); My question is if this internal IOCTL will ever reach the generic parent/bus driver? Is this a general mechanism to talk to the generic parent/bus driver from any place in the device stack above these driver - say upper function filter, function, lower function filter drivers? What if I place my driver as a lower function filter driver - in this case it will be nearer to the generic parent/bus driver? Thanks in advance!

    - Page Orientation capability in Unidrv? Reverse Print direction? Looking for a way to reverse the print direction on a thermal printer driver. The Unidrv GPD file has the 'Orientation' feature with the capability for PORTRAIT, LANDSCAPE_CC90, LANDSCAPE_CC270, which work well, but I am looking for a way to reverse the print 180 degrees. Because the Unidrv does not support it directly I think I will need to perform this in a printer graphics dll (renderring dll). I am new to this area of development. After reading and searching for info in MSDN and the newgroups, I found the Watermarkuni sample in the Windows Server 2003 DDK and have reviewed and tested it, but did not get a watermark as with the watermark PCL sample. Should the output be similar? What would be the best way of accomplishing a reverse page print? Can the page image be inverted before it is sent to the printer in a routine such as OEMSendPage() in ddihook.cpp of the watermarkuni WMARKUNI.dll sample? Or is there a better way to do this? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thankyou DaveK Tag: Difference between Windows NT 5.0 and NT 5.1 booting process Tag: 75230

    - Sending URBs from an upper function filter Hi Folks, I have a bunch of function drivers for my composite device. The device itself has 4 configurations and I would like to be able to switch between these configurations. As I know the mechanizm to do that is to send an IOCTL via the control pipe to the device's enpoint 0. I chosed USBBuildSelectConfigurationRequest. I am going to catch the IOCTL for configuration change in my filter and inside the filter's IOCTL handler I am going to call USBBuildSelectConfigurationRequest. This function is supposed to talk to the bus driver by sending an internal URB to switch coonfigurations. In USB turms it will send SET_CONFIGURATION (control write setup packet). . My concern is can I send URBs from a filter that is placed on top of my function drivers? Function drivers are already in the system, I cannot control them (different vendor) and still I have to be able to switch between the device configurations. Will my URB send from the filter reach the bus-driver? Is this a correct approach? Best Regards! Dim Tag: Difference between Windows NT 5.0 and NT 5.1 booting process Tag: 75227

    - Common Buffer DMA We are developing a bus mastering PCI Nic card. We have decided to use common buffer dma model, where dma could be triggered by the device itself. What we are planning to do is : In the miniport driver, allocate a memory region using AllocateCommonBuffer() API. Split this region into N buffers of size M(max size of the data) words. Get the logical address of the buffers using the BufferLogicalAddress given by AllocateCommonBuffer(). Write these buffer logical addresses into a fifo in the device(which is memory mapped). Wheneve a packet arrives on the network, its read by the device into its internal buffer. Device takes a free buffer from the fifo and programs its dma master to trasfer data from device internal buffer to the logical address of the system buffer. It writes the logical address used inthe dma into a separate address register and triggers an interrupt. The driver's ISR, reads the address register, figures out the logical address and teh corresponding virtuall address of the buffer. Will this design work or any other dma API should be called? Is just providing tle logical address of the buffer enough for the dma master in case of a common buffer model? Thanks in advance. ~sudhir.

    - The relationship between application address space and kernel components One of my friends, who is already an experienced driver developer(and he knows how app and kernel are mapped at the overall 4G layout), insists that every application at winXP owns its virtual address space, working set(I agree with this point), so the driver code is excuted in the context of a process.So from process space perspective, kernel fault happnes at one process space/context(this is the point I don't agree with) I think it is one of the basic concpets that application runs at its own virtual space and kernel runs at their own and they are not relevant. Ntdll and system service dispatcher at kernel are the bridge that response the requst from app and dispatch the kernel components. My question here is, can my friend's point be right at some situations/ points or I'm wrong at some points? Is there any relationship between a running process space and kernel space? Please kindly point out. Thanks! -TR Tag: Difference between Windows NT 5.0 and NT 5.1 booting process Tag: 75219

    - IoConnectInterrupt and surprise-removal Hello I've written a PCI function driver for a 32-bit pccard device. This device generates interrupts. The driver calls IoConnectInterrupt() during IRP_MJ_PNP/IRP_MN_START_DEVICE; it calls IoDisconnectInterrupt() during IRP_MJ_PNP/IRP_MN_REMOVE_DEVICE device. A user-mode app can open a file handle on the driver. Our test engineers have come up with the following situation: 1. Insert the pccard device. The system loads the PCI function driver and creates a DO; call it DO #1. During initialisation, the driver calls IoConnectInterrupt() successfully for DO #1. 2. Open a file handle on DO #1. 3. Surprise-remove the pccard device w/o closing the file handle. Hence DO #1 is transitioned to the surprise-remove state. The driver is not unloaded. 4. Re-insert the pccard device. The system creates a DO for this new device - DO #2. During initialisation, the driver calls IoConnectInterrupt() successfully for DO #2. 5. Now it goes wrong: whenever the device generates an interrupt, the system calls the ISR on the context of DO #1 instead of DO #2. Pretty annoying... Is this normal? The system should know DO #1 is orphanaged from the removed device, or not? And if not, why is the seconds call to IoConnectInterrupt() sucessfully? I could call IoDisconnectInterrupt() during IRP_MJ_PNP/IRP_MN_SURPRISE_REMOVAL, but this has some major consequences: the interrupt object will become invalid so the driver can't sync at DIRQL_LEVEL anymore using KeSynchronizeExecution(). Basically, the max execution level drops from DIRQL_LEVEL to DISPATCH_LEVEL for a lot of function then. Argh :-) Tag: Difference between Windows NT 5.0 and NT 5.1 booting process Tag: 75214

    - Problem with usb driver Hi, I am working on a usb driver for a custom device. This usb driver is used to recognize many different devices in the same family. My usb driver is recognizing my device correctly. Now I want to write & read some data on usb port using my application. For that I use the smae CreateFile, ReadFile, WriteFile mechanism. I get the USB port name thru WM_DEVICECHANGE message given by Windows when a new deive is inserted in the system. In my applciation, I open 3 handles for my USB port: hCom = CreateFile ("<my usb deive port name>", . . .); if (hCom) { hReadCom = CreateFile ("<my usb device port name>\PIPE00", . . .); hWriteCom = CreateFile ("<my usb device port name>\PIPE01", . . .); } This handles work perfectly for some of the devices. Data is transferred sucessfully & after that handles are closed successfully. But for some devices when I try to close the handles after read/write operation, my PC reboots. I am calling Close handle as follwoing: if (hReadCom) CloseHandle (hReadCom); if (hWriteCom) CloseHandle (hWriteCom); if (hCom) CloseHandle (hCom); I am using VC++ 6.0 as development environment for my application, and Windows XP SP1 OS. I dont know whether something is wrong with my driver or the applcation. Can you please guide me how to debug this situation. I have seen DebugViewNt traces for my driver, but didnt find anything importnat. I have enabled option to show Blue screen when PC crashes. It shows following information: STOP: 0x0000007E (0x80000003, 0x804FD7DC, 0xF8984D78, 0xF89844D8) I have seen description of this error on MSDN website, but didnt understand it properly.

Hi all,

I'm working on a full disk encryption driver for which I have written a
lower filter to disk driver and some 16 bit assemby program (INT13 hook)
which will initially decrypt all the system files.

All my modules are working fine in Windows 2000 but in Windows XP it crashes
with the following bug check code.

PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (6b)
Arguments:
Arg1: c000007a, Indicates the NT status code that caused the failure.
Arg2: 00000006, (reserved)
Arg3: 00000000
Arg4: 00000000

Is there any differnence in the booting process of Windows 2000 and Windows
XP in terms of reading the data from the disk at boot level.
