    - Can the W2K3 SP1 RC1 DDK be used for shipping products today We're having an internal debate about which DDK version is appropriate for a driver we plan to ship shortly. I believe the W2K3 SP1 RC1 DDK is the one to use. Some people here are uncomfortable with the RC1 designation and feel we should use the two year old W2K3 DDK. One of the arguments against the RC1 DDK seem to be drivers built with the old W2K3 kit are supported, but drivers build with the SP1 RC1 kit are not. Another argument, in favor of the RC1 DDK is it's the compiler/headers being used right now at Microsoft for OS's/patches/drivers, and has bugs fixed that may still be in the old W2K3 kit. Can someone from Microsoft comment? Thanks. Jan Tag: Log JOB_INFO_2 and DEVMODE info to a SQL database using a port mon Tag: 59215

    - Registry Cleanup Hi! I'm currently writing a dynamic device driver for Win9x/ME that utilizes the windows registry to become accessible to some win32 applications. The problem is that if you restart the computer without exiting windows (e.g. by reseting the computer) the driver doesn't get a chanse to clean up in the registry. The information will thus remain in the registry in the next windows session, and win32 applications will believe there's resources available that aren't actually available, since the driver isn't even loaded. So; how can I get rid of registry keys I've added from the driver even if the computer is reseted? My best idea so far is to add a runonce-value that is removed when the driver is unloaded, but remains if windows isn't terminated properly. But I don't want to distribute a win32 program whose only purpose is to clean the registry. Is there any other way to accomplish it? Is it, for instance, possible to do something like this (conceptual example only): HKLM |- Software |--- Microsoft |----- Windows |------- CurrentVersion |--------- RunOnce |----------- CleanUpResource1 = "regedit -remove HKLM/Hardware/bla/bla" i.e. utilize an existing application to do the cleanup. The driver is designed for Windows 95/98/ME. Please help! Nille Tag: Log JOB_INFO_2 and DEVMODE info to a SQL database using a port mon Tag: 59208

    - Multiport PCI driver under WDM I have written a NT driver for a custom developed PCI card, it's a multi-port serial adapter. Under NT when DriverEntry() was called, I used the HAL functions to find the presence of our adapter on the bus. Knowing beforehand how many serial ports are on the adapter I could simply create X instances of the device. As all ports share the same resources, I allocated interrupts and common buffer areas in DriverEntry. Each device never assigned any resources, they all share the same common resources. Now I have to port this driver to the WDM model. My problem is that the HAL functions I used to scan the bus is not available anymore. When OnStartDevice is called, the I/O manager passes you a resource list. Problem is I want to create more than one device and I can't seeing as the only time I will know what hardware resources I have been assigned is when the device object is already created! How can I create a device object per port for the adapter and still assign the PCI resources? How else can I open these ports from user-mode, if not by calling CreateFile() and using the symbolic link of each port? That can only happen if each port is its own device object even though there is only one physical PCI adapter. The adapter doesn't fit into the multifunction specification. The adapter has X logical ports in a CPU not X UARTs, but they all share the same hardware resources. There is a common buffer and an interrupt line. A message is then passed to and fro using this common buffer and signalled with the interrupt. Each message in its header, contains port information. I wish to have X devices ( and X symbolics links ). As far as I could find this type of driver is called a multiport driver, where there are more than one logical function on a device. A multifunction device is when each function uses non-overlapping hardware resources, my adapter doesn't fit that description. I can't find any examples for multiport drivers however. What structure should my driver contain? Do I need a bus driver for the adapter and then a function driver per port? Or is there a INF section that I am missing?

    - Ndis IM driver PnpCapabilities. Hi Thanks for any help. I have an NDIS IM driver under Pocket PC 2003. Its giving me couple of problems for Built-In Wifi medium. Sorry, I know its a painful question. Hope some one helps me. External WiFi cards work fine. When I have Built-In WiFi on, it has couple of options to turn it ON/OFF. 1. Thru a WiFi utility that comes with the device. 2. Connectivity icon at the top of the machine. When clicked it shows "Turn Wi-Fi ON/OFF". Also this option is different in some machines "Turn Flight mode ON/OFF". Code: 1. I return ndis status SUCCESS in ProtocolPnpHandler(NetEventSetPower). I maintain the power state in the driver. 2. In the PnpCapabilties Query I tried to return ndis status NOT SUPPORTED or SUPPORTED (with Wakeup capabilities set to "NdisDeviceStateUnspecified". Also I tried simply return the statuses without filling these wakeupcapability buffers. The problem is Both the WiFi options to Turn on and off the medium works as such when the device in ON. When I switch off the power and back on, One of them works and other doesn't. (Wi-Fi was on when powered down.) Example. If I set STATUS NOT SUPPORTED in pnpcapabilities, Power and flight mode works. If I set SUPPORTED, Utility and power works. The other is broken, Meaning, when the power is back its frozen or if you click to switch off the Wi-Fi, its frozen. Mostly in "NdisIMDeInitializeDeviceInstance". Could some please give me some direction here? some how the protocol stacks on top seem to hang. Is there away to disable(remove) this flight mode option thru the pnpcapabilites?. Note: PNPCapabities query will be called twice. I don't know the individual meanings but it looks we can specify different capabilities in both cases to make it work. The code is based on passthru sample that comes with CE 4.2.

    - File caching Hello, We are building a device that captures data from a number of external sources and organizes them for collection. The device connects to a PC via USB. Our device presents itself to the system as a FAT mass storage device. The data is organized as a set of text files. The user would open the files to see the current settings/data or could use our logging tool which manages the periodic collection of the data if that is what they want. Everything works pretty well except that the 'files' provided by the device change without Windows knowledge of it. Since Windows appears to cache the first image of the file we are not able to see the new values without unmounting and remounting the device. This is obviously not optimal. Everything works correctly when we mount it to Linux (which does not cache the files or root directory). Is there any adjustment we can make to our device that will allow it to tell Windows not to cache anything regarding the filesystem...say, during the device mounting process? Thanks in advance, Kevin Tag: Log JOB_INFO_2 and DEVMODE info to a SQL database using a port mon Tag: 59163

    - Print preview application i need to write a print preview application that is tied into our printer driver. that is, after the user prints to our driver, we will display a preview of the print job that the user can scroll through. typical printing features will be displayed in the image for each page such as orientation, N-up, etc. development for the actual printer driver is being done as Unidrv plug-ins. from the preview application the user can decide as to whether they really want to print out to the physical printer or to cancel the job. QUESTION 1 is there a preferred point in the printing process that a preview application should be kicked off from such as from the rendering plug-in or from a custom print processor? i was looking into microsoft's sample print processor in their DDK however all of the GDI functions in Print Processors seem to just replay the EMF into the printers DC. QUESTION 2 is it possible to use these GDI functions (e.g. GdiPlayPageEMF) to play back EMF in a preview application into the applications device context? i've seen mention of the function gdiPlaySpoolStream in this newsgroup however there is no current documentation on it. it does appear in GDI32.DLL and there is documentation on it in the Windows 98 DDK. interestingly, Microsoft has stated in some newsgroup articles that this function should be used. QUESTION 3 is the gdiPlaySpoolStream function valid (i.e. will be support in later OSes, etc.) for Windows 2000/XP? can it be used to play back a page at a time (for previewing)? Microsoft reiterates in numerous articles that EMF data that ends up in the Spooler is not the same as EMF generated by an application thus you can not rely on this format for playing back using normal EMF API functions. QUESTION 4 if this is the case how are other printers displaying their Print Preview applications or are they just relying (i.e. hoping) that the format does not change.

    - AVStream Physical Memory Mapping Hi!, In Stream.sys there was a PORT_CONFIGURATION structure available, that pointed out mappings from physical to virtual memory. My PCI card has a large memory range, and I want to access last 256 bytes of it (not using DMA, I just want to map this memory into virtual address - those my PCI card registers). I'm trying to use MmMapIoSpace, this supposed to look like this: PHYSICAL_ADDRESS physAddress; Memory resource address received from >>TranslatedResourceList<<. physAddress.LowPart += 0x100000L; virtualAddress = (PUCHAR) MmMapIoSpace(physAddress, 256, MmNonCached); But this does not works as I expect it to work - I could make a simple mistake - and If this is only way to implement this I'll try it, but: Is there some other way of receiving those addresses? I remember, I had similar problem with Stream.sys and I have found mapped physical onto virtual addresses in PORT_CONFIGURATION structure. That was very comfortable in Stream.sys. Pawel ps Maybe there are also function simmilar to StreamClassGetPhysicalAddress in AVStream model? Tag: Log JOB_INFO_2 and DEVMODE info to a SQL database using a port mon Tag: 59152

    - How to set up IoRequestPacket in ClientEventReceiveDatagram? Dear all: Recently I developed a TDI client driver. It is a very simple project which receives UDP packets from particular IP address and port. I tried two methods to achieve the goal. One is to allocate Irp/Mdl and TdiBuildReceiveDatagram to obtain data directly from underlying transport. It works fine! Another is to register ClientEventReceiveDatagram handler, and in the handler I also receive UDP data. However, in the case that the input parameter BytesIndicated != BytesAvailable, I wanted to build a Irp returned to underlying transport for the remainder of the TSDU. It failed! In this handler, I tried two ways to build the Irp, IoAllocateIrp and TdiBuildInternalDeviceControlIrp. As mentioned by DDK documentation, "Callers of TdiBuildInternalDeviceControlIrp must be running at IRQL = PASSIVE_LEVEL".So I pre-call the function to build Irp and in other thread, such as dispatch_IoControl. But both of them failed. OS crashed,and the message is "DRIVER_NO_LESS_OR_EQUAL_IRQL". I don't know how to set up the Irp as *IoRequestPacket for the remainder data. Any idea is appreciated, thanks in advance. Regards, Zhou Tag: Log JOB_INFO_2 and DEVMODE info to a SQL database using a port mon Tag: 59151

    - Kernel-Mode Basics Hello all, >From the link: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/tips/km-basics.mspx#EAAA under "Getting your driver to handle more than one I/O request at a time" Second paragraph: "Even if your application uses multiple threads, only one request at a time (per file handle) will get through." I am doubtful about the "per file handle" part. I tried the following thing: >From 2 threads (in an application) i opened the device (created in a simple driver) using CreateFile (and verified that the handles are different). One thread called ReadFile in a loop and the other one called WriteFile in a loop. But i noticed that driver is handling the request 1 at a time. So even though the handles are different the calls are serialized. So what does the "per file handle" mean ? ...Mani Tag: Log JOB_INFO_2 and DEVMODE info to a SQL database using a port mon Tag: 59140

    - Reasons for USB Device Reinstall What are the reasons, other than the USB serial number, that would cause a USB device to be reinstalled when moved to a new USB port? We are in the process of developing a USB device and even though we are specifying a serial number, the Add New Hardware wizard pops up whenever the device is moved to a new port. We are specifying a string descriptor index in the device descriptor and the value of the serial number is the Unicode string â??0123456789â??. This is a temporary value for development purposes, when the device goes into production, each will have its own serial number. Even so, shouldnâ??t this value be sufficient to qualify as a valid USB serial number? Mike Tag: Log JOB_INFO_2 and DEVMODE info to a SQL database using a port mon Tag: 59128

    - Comminicating config and control data to an RNDIS device Hi Folks, So my RNDIS device is working great. Thanks to everyone, and Bryan, for helping me out. In the end it turns out a lot of confusion was caused by a USB interface device that has some, er, odd interface requirements. (Beware the READY line on the Cypress SX2 device, it doesn't do what you think, or even what the Cypress app notes might imply. It is in no way compatible with the READY input to any processor I'm aware of.) Anyway, my particular RNDIS device is a radio that has a lot of configuration parameters. Some of the parameters are fairly large arrays of numbers and the custom parameter interface provided by RNDIS through the "Advanced" tab of the device seems inadequate for handling such a large amount of data. Plus, it would be nice to be able to re-flash the device from the host. So my question is this: Is there any provision for a host application to send and receive out of band data to and from the RNDIS attached device? I know there's OOB data that can be transported with the data packets, but that doesn't seem like what I'm looking for. But I'm looking into that further to see if there's some way to make it work. One thought I've had is to write a filter driver to insert my own commands into the EP0 stream. But it would be so much easier if something already exists, like maybe an OID that can get set/read from the host that's passed by RNDIS to the device. Anybody have any ideas?

    - capture shutdown event from lower filter driver of disk driver I am writing a driver which is a lower filter of disk class driver. My driver needs to save its state to the physical disk when the shutdown occurs. How do I capture the shutdown event in a driver at such a level? I actually tried the IoRegisterShutdownNotification() and tried to handle the IRP_MJ_SHUTDOWN. Although I can successfully registered for this event, I couldn't receive the IRP_MJ_SHUTDOWN irp. I also tried the SRB_FUNCTION_SHUTDOWN. although I can capture it I don't know what's the difference between this command and IRP_MJ_SHUTDOWN irp and whether it is save for my drive to conduct some block level write when handling SRB_FUNCTION_SHUTDOWN. thanks for any coming help Paris Tag: Log JOB_INFO_2 and DEVMODE info to a SQL database using a port mon Tag: 59016

    - how to detect media connect/disconnect asynchronously at NDIS level I am reading data directly from a network interface using a modified NDISPROT protocol driver. When somebody pulls the network cable the ProtocolStatus routine triggers within the driver. From the user level I can actively poll the miniport using OID_GEN_MEDIA_CONNECT_STATUS, but is there a way to get notified asynchronously? If not, is checking the miniport via the OID the best way or should I implement an IoControl in NDISPROT instead? Thanks for your help!

    - this is regarding rebooting system after driver install or uninstall hi all, i am very new to the windows device driver development. now i am learning how to write a driver . in this process i have created a sample driver having only these functions i.e DriverEntry , AddDevice and Unload. so with this code i am able to install the driver. now my question is every time i install driver or uninstall driver ,system is asking for reboot.so,can any one give me a solution such that i can avoid rebooting the system and still be able to install/uninstall driver. what i want is i don't want to restart my system once driver is installed or uninstalled.my OS is WIN2000 and the DDK i am using is WINDDK .so ,tell me what all changes i need to make. the code i have written is as follows: #include <wdm.h> NTSTATUS myAddDevice(IN PDRIVER_OBJECT DriverObject, IN PDEVICE_OBJECT pdo); VOID DriverUnload(IN PDRIVER_OBJECT fdo) ///Driver Entery NTSTATUS DriverEntry( IN PDRIVER_OBJECT DriverObject, IN PUNICODE_STRING RegistryPath ) { DbgPrint ("Drv: Entered Driver Entry\n"); // Initialize Function Pointers DriverObject->DriverUnload =3D DriverUnload; DriverObject->DriverExtension->AddDevice =3D myAddDevice; return STATUS_SUCCESS; } // DriverUnload VOID DriverUnload(IN PDRIVER_OBJECT DriverObject) { DbgPrint ("Drv: Entered Driver unload\n"); } // DriverUnload NTSTATUS myAddDevice(IN PDRIVER_OBJECT DriverObject, IN PDEVICE_OBJECT DeviceObject) { NTSTATUS status; UNICODE_STRING ntDeviceName; PDEVICE_OBJECT DeviceObject1 =3D NULL; // Create a functional device object to represent the hardware we're managing.

    - AVstream Clock Hi, I have written a AVStream driver which exposes a Playback Filter and acts like a renderer. This filter has a Video In pin for rendering the Video. This Pin is supposed to support a clock to return the current Stream time. I set the flag KSPIN_FLAG_IMPLEMENT_CLOCK in the KSPIN_DESCRIPTOR_EX for this Pin. And declared a KSCLOCK_DISPATCH structure and included in the KSPIN_DISPATCH structure for this pin. My KSCLOCK_DISPATCH is like this. const KSCLOCK_DISPATCH VideoInClockDispatch = { NULL, NULL, (PFNKSPINCORRELATEDTIME)VideoInCorrelatedTime, (PFNKSPINRESOLUTION)VideoInResolution }; The function VideoInCorrelatedTime is defined like this LONGLONG VideoInCorrelatedTime(IN PKSPIN Pin, OUT PLONGLONG SystemTime); Now when I render the Pin, the VideoInCorrelatedTime gets called. But the parameter Pin is coming as some invalid Pointer. And after returning from this funtion, I get a Page Fault in some unknown location ( not in driver ). Could anyone let me know what could be going wrong. What is the exact steps to support a clock on a Pin ? Thanks a Lot.

    - 1394 talk/listen DMA buffer alignment requirements? Hello. Since I could not find any definitive answer in the archive or the docs, I'll ask here: for the cases of 1394 talk using equal sized packets and listen (both using packet based DMA, i.e. RESOURCE_USE_PACKET_BASED), are there any restrictions on alignment, size and/or straddling a page boundary? I found some mention of this in the DDK, but only for the case of DESCRIPTOR_HEADER_SCATTER_GATHER (which I stopped using). Are there any descriptor buffer alignment/size/page_boundary_straddling restrictions for the more general cases (i.e. no DESCRIPTOR_HEADER_SCATTER_GATHER and no RESOURCE_VARIABLE_ISOCH_PAYLOAD for talk, plain listen, both packet based)? thanks for your time, Philip Lukidis Tag: Log JOB_INFO_2 and DEVMODE info to a SQL database using a port mon Tag: 58992

    - USB Drive / Key's drive letter assignment I apologize in advance if I am posting this in the wrong newsgroup but I cannot seem to find the appropriate one for this question. I am trying to figure out a way I can create a script that will change the default drive letter a USB drive / key device grabs when it is initially inserted. We have over 1500 machines and cannot go to each one of them for each USB device and manually assign a letter. If we leave windows to it's own "devices" it will assign a letter to the USB drive that is already mapped to a network resource. Unfortunately in our environment it is not possible to change the network drive mappings. I have done some research on this and haven't come up with anything that isn't a very dirty fix to this problem. If anyone has any insight or solution it would be greatly appreciated.

After uninstall the pssthru driver, the two INF files (copied and renamed to OEM*.inf under c:\windows\inf) are not removed.

    - NDIS VMINI MiniportSend() WindowsCE .NET I produced the NDIS vmini example of the platform builder using emVC++ with some modifications and installed the driver on the target PC. The VMiniMSend() function will be called from the NDIS protocol driver to send some data.

I need to log the information found in JOB_INFO_2 and DEVMODE structs for
each print job to a SQL database, before they are sent to the printer via LPR
or RAW(port 9100). I may even need to delete print jobs that contain certain
undesired information (such as too high of a copy count) before they are sent
to the printer. I believe this could be accomplished by writing a custom
port monitor. However, I have never done this before. I found the Local
port monitor source code in the src\print\monitors\localmon and
src\print\monitors\localui directories of the Windows 2003 Server DDK. Does
anyone know where I can get source code for either the Standard TCP/IP port
monitor or the LPR port monitor?
