    - How to add filter DO on an PDO in a bus filter driver I have an upper bus filter driver, and the filter DO was created and attached to the bus FDO without any problem. But my primary interest is to filter the PDOs created by bus driver. The filter DO above the bus FDO cannot see the IRPs to those PDOs. I think I should create a filter DO and attach it to each PDO created by the bus driver, but I am not sure where to attach my filter DO to the bus created PDO. Normally, AddDevice() is the place to create my filter DO and attach to the driver stack, but when the bus PDO is indicated in query device relation, my AddDevice() will not be called for those PDOs. I tried to create my filter DO and attach to the driver stack in the completion routine for bus FDO query device relation. Most of the PnP IRPs work well, and the upper fucntion driver is loaded as well, but the underlying bus driver failed with STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST during handling IRP_MN_START_DEVICE. I ran out of thoughts for reasons of this failure. Anyone may shed any light ? Should I attach to bus created PDO in different place ? One more specific question, should I call ObReference() for my filter DO when I created it in the completion routine for the query device relations, as in the case for regular PDO creaation ?

I am pretty certain it is possible, based on the multiple monitors issue (mirror driver does not cause disabling of DirectX, when using multiple monitors). Furthermore, there is evidence that a solution has been figured out by developers at Novell, based on this web page: http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10092779.htm Also, one person working on the UltraVNC project (which uses a mirror driver) seems to think that it is possible: http://forum.ultravnc.net/viewtopic.php?p=17741 Has your debugging yielded any clues? I am going to try an obtain a Permedia 3 graphics card, to better compare my mirror driver with one that actually supports DirectX. Tag: PLEASE HELP!! Tag: 71003

    - Where can I find the color format of source surface in DrvCopyBits function? I'm writing a mirror driver that is able to capture the display of the screen, and send the images to the remote machine through network, and then project them onto the remote screen. just like what netmeeting does. most of display were projected onto the remote screen correctly. But some images weren't. Especially, when I played a video, the clip was projected onto the remote monitor, but colors were change. Let me explain briefly what I have done here. for example, in DrvCopyBits function, I grab the bitmap in the source surface, psoSrc, and send the bitmap to remote machine. I create a DIB bitmap in remote machine, and display it using BitBlt. Now I found that the reason why the color looks changed in remote machine is RGB orders are different between color format of device context of remote machine and that of the bitmap. I really got stuck here. Where can I find the color format of SURFOBJ structure, such as RGB masks? I hope what I wrote won't confuse you. Does any driver masters please give me some suggestion?

    - USBD_SHORT_TRANSFER_OK on Isochronous In I'm using the DDK (3790) isousb driver example to check out my high-speed hardware - it generates 1000 byte packets approx every 300uS, so sometimes when it is polled by the PC it has no data ready and so sends a zero-length packet (as req'd by the spec). However the driver doesn't seem to react to these. The USBD_SHORT_TRANSFER_OK flag is not set (in PerformHighSpeedIsochTransfer()), yet the driver just shows occasional zero-length packets received in amongst the 1000-byte packets. I was expecting to see something in urb->UrbIsochronousTransfer.IsoPacket[i].Status, but it is zero for all packets. [I am doing a 8000 byte read request (from the rwiso app), so the IRP is split into a single subsidiary irp/urb, containing 8 packets.] Shouldn't there be an error generated, or have I misunderstood the purpose of this flag? (in which case what is it for) Thanks Tag: PLEASE HELP!! Tag: 70971

    - USB stack gives misleading indications when Polling Interval not 1 [apologies for the repost; I didn't realise I could post as 'MSDN subscriber'] I am seeing some incorrect indications from the usb stack (XP SP2) when my device indicates a Polling Interval of 2 on its isochronous endpoint: My hardware has a high speed (not high bandwidth) iso In endpoint; it generates fixed size 1000-byte packets at an interval very slightly over 250uS. I have taken the isousb sample from the 3790 DDK, and adapted it to work with my configuration. Because of the data rate, it seemed sensible to increase the polling interval on that endpoint so as to only poll every other microframe, so I set a value of two. I use the test app (rwiso) to read an amount of data from the device, and the driver output is as follows: IsoPacket[0].Length = 0x03E8 IsoPacket[0].Status = 0 IsoPacket[1].Length = 0x0000 IsoPacket[1].Status = 0 IsoPacket[2].Length = 0x03E8 IsoPacket[2].Status = 0 IsoPacket[3].Length = 0x0000 IsoPacket[3].Status = 0 IsoPacket[4].Length = 0x03E8 IsoPacket[4].Status = 0 IsoPacket[5].Length = 0x0000 IsoPacket[5].Status = 0 IsoPacket[6].Length = 0x03E8 IsoPacket[6].Status = 0 IsoPacket[7].Length = 0x0000 IsoPacket[7].Status = 0 IsoPacket[8].Length = 0x03E8 IsoPacket[8].Status = 0 IsoPacket[9].Length = 0x0000 IsoPacket[9].Status = 0 IsoPacket[10].Length = 0x03E8 IsoPacket[10].Status = 0 IsoPacket[11].Length = 0x0000 IsoPacket[11].Status = 0 IsoPacket[12].Length = 0x03E8 IsoPacket[12].Status = 0 IsoPacket[13].Length = 0x0000 IsoPacket[13].Status = 0 IsoPacket[14].Length = 0x03E8 IsoPacket[14].Status = 0 IsoPacket[15].Length = 0x0000 IsoPacket[15].Status = 0 IsoPacket[16].Length = 0x03E8 IsoPacket[16].Status = 0 IsoPacket[17].Length = 0x0000 IsoPacket[17].Status = 0 IsoPacket[18].Length = 0x03E8 IsoPacket[18].Status = 0 IsoPacket[19].Length = 0x0000 IsoPacket[19].Status = 0 IsoPacket[20].Length = 0x03E8 IsoPacket[20].Status = 0 IsoPacket[21].Length = 0x0000 IsoPacket[21].Status = 0 IsoPacket[22].Length = 0x03E8 IsoPacket[22].Status = 0 IsoPacket[23].Length = 0x0000 IsoPacket[23].Status = 0 So this suggests that every other packet is coming back zero-length. However, when I look at the entire buffer from the user-space app there are no gaps - every piece of data *is* there (and correct) from beginning to end - all 24 packets. The return value from the read() call is 12*1000 yet the whole buffer has in fact been written. I've also used SnoopyPro to examine what the stack thinks the packets contain, and diagrammatically (and very much simplified), this is what I'm seeing (with "." indicating a zero-length packet): According to stack Actually in buffer 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 . 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B 8 9 A B . C D E F 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 etc This is a problem to me because I will occasionally get genuine zero-length packets (due to the data generation being asynchronous to the usb frames), and I need to be able to detect them. The USBD_SHORT_TRANSFER_OK flag is not set. This only happens when the Polling Interval is 2; when it is set to 1 then the behaviour is as expected (albeit interspersed with genuine zero-length packets, generated by the h/w when it is polled but has no data available). I'm running a free build XP SP2, but with checked versions of ntoskrnl, hal, usbport.sys, usbccgp.sys and usbd.sys (also from an SP2 version). Is it a bug in the usb stack? There is a report of this kind of problem - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=837371 - but although it is dated only a few days ago, it seems to be saying that the issue is fixed in SP2; and I have newer versions of all the files indicated (though why don't I have usbccgp.sys - isn't that needed for composite devices??) [I'm having trouble with my Win2K installation at the moment, so I've not had a chance to compare]. In fact, as I repeat the test today to check my results (before hitting "Send"), I'm *also* now seeing an additional effect: a packet with a length of 1000, but contents all zero - but, again, without any loss of data - where there *is* data in the buffer it is continous and valid (the data stream contains a count to help spot discontinuities). What with the results I was seeing yesterday plus this additional weirdness I'm now seeing, I'm wondering if there are still issues with non-one values of polling interval? Anyone got any thoughts? Can anyone at MS confirm whether 837371 really is fixed? Thanks. Tag: PLEASE HELP!! Tag: 70966

    - Big allocation AND per process memory! Hi EveryOne! 0 See [ http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/managed/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp&mid=7f32b8de-2204-47e7-9ed9-0e2f5f60c316 ] what MS guy is talking about memory allocation , i wonder that they say that process address space can be 4 GB [ 32 bit architecture ] memory with one half for kernel and another for user. Ok! lets say that you can just use 2 GB with any user application , fine. If i write a kernel mode code which can access user and as well as kernel space then it should be able to take care of 4 GB. But why Microsoft guys are just saying NO for big allocations? It might be possible that lack of addressing flat memory is due to other than OS itself like TLB , HW cache , VM manager architecture etc.. 1) Say Windows 32 bit OS for intel architecture. 0) Kernel space = 2 1) User space = 2 Total process space = 4 GB. User mode App. = You have just 2 GB to move around , you keep you data, routines and string for file mapping here. Kernel mode code = Ok here you can move around 3 GB. You can see that our system is consuming min 1 GB [PCB , stack etc.] in both cases. So we can see that system is spoiling 4 GB [ one process] for every four processes;-) that is what i'm thinking.

    - Run unsigned PnP drivers by users without administrative rights I have been trough a lot of documentation, but I haven't got a good solution to this problem. We need to run unsigned PnP drivers, by users without administrative privileges. This has to be done silently without dialogs. We have tested the drivers and found them ok in our systems. Actually most of them are drivers included in the Windows XP, but with INF-files for additional hardware. We have also made packages of the driver installations, so that everything is in place. We have no control over when the devices are used for first time, but the device should just work when activated. Everything work ok except that the users get the "found new hardware" dialog and is prompted for an administrator account. Is there any way to get around this? We have full control over the driver files and the users have no access to change or remove the files. The computer and user accounts are also fully controllable with GPO's. Some white papers mention the use of "trusted path" but I can't figure out how and I assume that is referred to when an unattended installation is done. I also read something about using a local certificate. I couldn't find more info about that either. Any suggestions? Otherwise we have to grant our users administrative rights and I would really hate that. Tag: PLEASE HELP!! Tag: 70948

    - Device stack reordering when driver is reloaded Hi, On my system, my vendor (IBM) preinstalls a filter driver (IBM Active PCI a.k.a. ibmhpf.sys) that sits between the PCI bus and PCI device drivers (such as mine). It manages some IBM-specific PCI hotplug functionality and should be "transparent" to PCI device drivers. My device driver is not aware of this filter and continues to work as usual. However, after I reload my driver (Disable+Enable in the Device Manager), it would no longer operate normally, getting null MDLs in its DispatchRead routine. As you know, there can be two reasons for getting null MDLs: 1. Not having DO_DIRECT_IO in your DEVICE_OBJECT's Flags. (Obviously I always had this flag set.) 2. Passing a zero-sized buffer to ReadFile. (I don't do this.) Inspecting my device with Walter Oney's DevView revealed the reason: while my FDO has DO_DIRECT_IO in its flags, IBM's FiDO does not -- and IBM's FiDO has relocated from being between my FDO and the PCI bus, to be *on top* of my FDO! What can cause this FiDO (whose source code I obviously don't have) to be inserted at the right place on system startup, but at the wrong place on subsequent reload of my driver? Tag: PLEASE HELP!!

    - Extra Processing on CompletionRoutine Hi everyone I'm writing a filter driver for a device, which I install a completion routine so that I could do extra processing after the IRP has been processed by the lower driver. AFAIK, I've got two options for my CompletionRoutine 1. Do whatever I need to do inside the CompletionRoutine, then return with STATUS_SUCCESS. 2. Queue a work item, which will later call IoCompleteReturn, and then return STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED. I've tried successfully with method 1 (which is simpler). However, I'm not sure if that's safe, since sometime my processing could take up 1-2 seconds to do. Could anyone tell in which case should i use the 1st method, and which case should I use the 2nd one? And the IRP being processed inside my CompletionRoutine will never be canceled by anyone, right? Another question, assuming that the lower driver completes the IRPs in its work queue (PASSIVE_LEVEL) most of the time, am I safe to say that my CompletionRoutine would be called in PASSIVE_LEVEL most of the time too, or is it system dependent?

I don't know if they were customized or not. Now, when I try to run those commands from command line, snetcfg.exe crashes and install.exe fails. Here are the respective stack trace and failure msgs. snetcfg.exe crash: msvcrt!wcscpy+0x8 netcfgx!HrCiInstallFilterDevice+0x192 netcfgx!CFilterDevices::InstallFilterDevicesIfNeeded+0x184 netcfgx!CModifyContext::ApplyChanges+0x5cb netcfgx!CModifyContext::HrApplyIfOkOrCancel+0x24 netcfgx!CImplINetCfg::Apply+0x2f snetcfg!HrInstallNetComponent+0x12f snetcfg!wmain+0x14d snetcfg!wmainCRTStartup+0x12b KERNEL32!BaseProcessStart+0x3d install.exe output: .\install.exe netvpntp.inf *no_vpntp Search for Device ID: [*no_vpntp] Compare device ID: [ACPI\ACPI0003] Compare device ID: [*ACPI0003] Compare device ID: [ACPI\PNP0000] Compare device ID: [*PNP0000] ....... ....... Compare device ID: [USB\ROOT_HUB] Compare device ID: [USB\OTHER_ID] EnumDeviceInfo FAILURE: No more data is available. GetINFClass FAILURE: The system cannot find the file specified. Any help on why snetcfg is crashing would be greatly appreciated. Also, is the failure in install.exe because of snetcfg crash or is there some other reason ? I will try to cut and paste .inf files in the next msgs. thank you very much Ramesh Tag: PLEASE HELP!! Tag: 70863

    - USB drivers oddity on Win2K This is strange, and I'm wondering if it's something I've done. We have a USB composite device that has two endpoints, one of which is used as a debug channel and one which is a mass storage interface. The mass storage interface works just fine.. however.. When our system (Windows 2000) crashes, it sometimes forgets that it needs the "USB Composite Device" driver and we have to manually reinstall it! This is somewhat tedious and painful, as you might expect, since it looks like that driver has to be reinstalled for each port that we're putting one of these devices on (ugh). I've looked over our debug interface driver code and I can't find anything that would cause Win2K to decide it doesn't need the composite interface any longer. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Does WinXP handle composite devices better? Are there any known issues with composite USB devices under Win2K? All help appreciated, I'm running out of hair to pull out! Tag: PLEASE HELP!! Tag: 70857

    - UNIDRV Banding Line Count error? Hello, I've got a rendering plugin with ImageProcessing doing RGB24 to CMYK custom halftoning. (That is, DevNumPlanes = 4, DevBPP = 1, DrvBPP= 24.) The conversion itself works fine, *except*: when UNIDRV is doing banding, if the last band is shorter than the previous bands, the difference (in lines) is added to the print as garbage raster data. E.G: for a 3300 line Letter page: ImageProcessing reports 4 x bands of 664 lines, then one of 644. What is printed is the 3300 lines expected, plus (664 - 644 =)20 lines of garbage. For a 3750 line page: ImageProcessing reports 4 x bands of 752 lines, then one of 742. The expected 3750 lines print, plus 10 lines (752 - 742) of garbage. It *looks* like when Unidrv splits the page into bands, it's not tracking the actual count when passing the bands to Output. Comments? Suggestions?? I'd rather not do the compression and output to spooler myself, if there's a known fix for this issue. Thanks! -- Joe C. -- J.C. Tag: PLEASE HELP!! Tag: 70856

    - Unload what SetupDiCallClassInstaller loaded After disabling/enabling a device with a call to SetupDiCallClassInstaller, my program's memory usage jumps from 900Kb to 9.5 MB (WinXP, according to TaskManager and ProcessXP). Msdn explains: SetupDiCallClassInstaller calls the class installer and any co-installers that are registered for a device or a device setup class. <b>This function loads the installers if they are not yet loaded.</b> The function also calls the default handler for the DIF request, if there is a default handler and if the installers return a status indicating that the default handler should be called. How do I UNLOAD the class installer and co-installers, that are eating my memory? Tag: PLEASE HELP!! Tag: 70851

    - WHQL Failure during user defined functions I am running WHQL test and I am failing on test 2.2.3. What is happening is that it runs through the Windows functions (1-2048), but once it comes in to test the user defined functions it fails out the test. The nStatus is equal to 0. Do I need to do some kind of check that if it is equal to 0, return STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER? Thanks for you help. ck Tag: PLEASE HELP!! Tag: 70847

    - user mode printer drivers We had an existing kernel mode printer driver that we converted to user mode following documentation in the driver kit. The new user mode driver installs and runs correctly on Windows XP and Server 2003. Attempting to install the driver on the Vista beta fails with the following error message: "The driver that you are trying to install is not compatible with Windows Server 2003 family. Please contact the manufacturer for an updated version." Any ideas? Thanks. Tag: PLEASE HELP!! Tag: 70845

    - Miniport's IOCTL interface performance issue. Hi all, I have written a NDIS 5.0 virtual miniport driver that send and receive packets from a usermode application via Direct IOCTL interface. All seems to be working well, except that the miniport drops packets if it receives more that about 3000/second. I have implemented a receive buffer in the miniport and it is clear that the miniport receive all the packets from the above protocols and queue them accordingly but the IOCTL interface seems to be to slow to handle all of the packets, so the queue overflows. Is there any way to improve the IOCTL interface's performance? Thanks, Amos Tag: PLEASE HELP!! Tag: 70836

    - Driver design thoughts Yes, I'm a driver newbie... We have an open source kernel driver that needs accurate and high-resolution timestamps in order to stamp communication packets. Then, we have an external reference clock producing these timestamps. The problem is to forward these timestamps to the driver. My plan is to write a new driver that interfaces the clock (with serial based protocol) and exports a method for the existing driver in order to request timestamps when needed. This way the existing driver would stay as intact as possible. Does this sound reasonable to you? As far as I understand, my new driver would not be a real "device driver" representing any device, but a kernel-mode helper library. So, what type of driver it should be? Any other thoughts of architectural design? Thanks Ali Tag: PLEASE HELP!! Tag: 70832

Surely I can create a dialog successfully without register a class. but it seems that is necessary when i want to add a icon for th dialog. it still failed! the differences between my test app and my ddk are: (1) ddk uses unicode, (2) the instance of ddk is the dllmain 1st input parameter,while the instance of my test program is winmain 1st input parameter, BTW,i dont want to use MFC or any class,only api funcs are used.
