    - USB 2.0 Video Capture Driver Development Currently I'm developing a Driver for an existing USB 2.0 Device. Because I'm progressing very slowly, I am looking for more samples outside of the DDK. Especially samples for setting up isochronous transfers. Thanks for your help bye Christopher Koschack Tag: Security context for printer driver Tag: 77086

    - Strange behaviour for TDI_SET_EVENT_HANDLER in a filter Hi I have a TDI filter and I'm filtering TDI_SET_EVENT_HANDLER. Application can send this IRP to "reset" a previously event handler. What I don't understand is, why when someone above me tries to reset a previously set event handler, it's already NULL in my filter? if( pSrc->EventHandler ) { // Hook The Caller's Event Handler ......... } else { // Reset the Event Handler // Printing EventHandler and EventContext now, will show they are NULLed !! // Why pDest->EventHandler and pDest->EventContext are ALREADY = NULL? (Before I put my null in it) pDest->EventHandler = NULL; pDest->EventContext = NULL; } Thanks. Tag: Security context for printer driver Tag: 77080

    - Renaming ndisuio Hi, I'm totally new to NDIS and drivers in general. I need to create my own NDIS protocol driver. To begin with it can have the exact same functionality as ndisuio, so here is what I've done: (1) Copied ndisuio source tree and renamed it (2) In the sources I renamed protName, NT_DEVICE_NAME and DOS_DEVICE_NAME (3) Chose a different name for the target sys file (4) Built the driver - it build successfully I also copied ndisuio.inf file, made some renaming in there, but unfortunately the driver doesn't install. I believe the problem is in the INF file but I don't know how to fix it. Is there any reference/sample that explains exactly how to create the inf file?

    - Cypress FX2 device driver & loopback speed Hi , I am using Cypress FX2 USB controller in out High speed USB device. I am performing bulk loop-back operation (same as per sample from Cypress) I am transfering total data for 1 MB using 512 bytes at a time. That gives ~1955 packets. I observed that ~ 150 times ReadFile or WriteFile from application takes 16 millisecond to complete transfer of 512 bytes, which seems long to me. this 16 millisecond response costs my overall speed to go down as low as 10 Mbits/second or so. I want to achieve atleast 90 to 110 Mbits per second speed. Is this because of bulk transfer? Can this be fixed? or I need to fine tune things somewhere?

    - Problem Installing PrintProcessor from printer INF file. I developed a print processor and have manually installed and tested it. But I would like to have it installed via the printer INF file. I have followed the INF help in the DDK and added the following to my INF file PrintProcessor="MTP-22XXPP.DLL, MTP22XXPP.dll" along with source and destination locations of the dll. But when I 'Add Printer', select the INF file, and click 'Finish', files are copied then I get an error message, 'Printer driver not installed, operation could not be completed'. Reviewing the results, the print processor dll is copied to the appropriate directory MTP22XXPP.DLL = 51,prtprocs\w32x86 but the registry does not get updated. The same method is used for installing a language monitor, just different destination directory and INF statement, which seems to work. I have tried to install the printer INF file on several XP systems and a Win2K system and get the same results on all of them. Whether the print processor is previously installed or not. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks Dave K Tag: Security context for printer driver Tag: 77022

    - crash in directx when usb hid device is connected Hi all, I have developed a USB HID device based on the PIC16c745 - it works great, but there is one small problem. When it is plugged in, most directx apps (eg. games and dxdiag) crash inside of dinput.dll. Other than this, the devices works great, I can control it via the HID interfaces in the DDK without any problems. When the crash happens the backtrace looks like this: http://www.heenan.me.uk/vs.png Without this USB device that I have developed connected everything works fine.

    - question for secondary dump data callback Hello. I have problems with my bugcheck secondary callback (WinXP SP2). My callback is indeed called, but there are two issues: a) My callback is called only once, and I cannot see my information in the kernel crash dump. I believe that the DDK mentions that my callback should be called twice: once for buffer length and address acquisition, and then again for actually copying the data. My callback code, which was adapted from an archive, is shown below after this letter. b) In some cases, when I tried the .enumtag command, I got a listing of information (my GUID was not there). However, sometimes I got the following error: 1: kd> .enumtag Unable to start enumeration, HRESULT 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE, what does it mean here, and did I cause it?)

    - RAID Cluster MAP to Physical LBA relationship Does anyone know of any tools which display the current mapping between clusters and physical LBAâ??s on an XP Pro (SP2) NTFS (three drives) Stripe set and is there any method of changing this? Maybe a description of how NTFS is implemented across a RAID array? I have a video application simulated by writing a 100MB file and reading the file back. The file is written to 3x SCSI disks, striped and formatted using NTFS (default cluster size of 4KB). The system is a 3.6GHz Xeon with 3.25GB RAM. The simulation creates multiple files (keeps going until the volume is full) and for each 100MB file calculates the average write transfer rate and read transfer rate. Most of the time, the write transfer rate is around 160MB/s but sometimes drops to 75MB/s (occasionally much less). For writes, a dip to 120MB/s for the real application could cause a loss of some real-time data. Concentrating on Writes: with the higher transfer speeds, each of the 3 drives in the Stripe get Write commands to the same LBA and (mainly) 64K transfers. The LBAs being written to are sequentially increasing. For the â??badâ?? scores a combination of things can happen. The LBAs being written to will increase sequentially and then the LBA range will change (usually lower physical area of the disks) and/or the transfer size will change to much less than 64K (I saw one transfer of 4K). The change of LBA range wouldnâ??t hurt things much, but the change in transfer size from 64K means much less efficient use of the SCSI bus (more commands, less data with each) and seems to be the root cause of the occasional performance dip. The issue does not appear to be anything to do with fragmentation â?? just the way in which the drives are being used by XP / NTFS Hence the question - Any good tools to look at how a files is going to be mapped physically on an NTFS Software RAIDed volume - Any method of tweaking? NOTE: This is the fisrt time I've used the forums so apologies if this is the wrong forum to be asking this question! Tag: Security context for printer driver Tag: 76941

    - Occasionally false samples from a soundcard driver A PCI bus based "professional" soundcard has a digital input (S/PDIF). Connected this input to a CD player's output and recorded about 20 seconds using waverecorder. Found 12 "clicks" in the recorded WAV file. The clicks are false sample values, exactly one false sample in each case (sample rate does not matter, same at 22kHz, 44.1kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz). Sample value is random (never full scale nor zero). Searched for the clicks and determined their sample number. 10 of them have a sample number ending with "1", 2 of them end with "2", so definitely *not random*. Calculated the difference between sample numbers ending with "1". Calculated the gcd (greatest common divisor) of these differences and found that it is always 440 (or multiples of 440, e.g. 880, 2200). Soundcard is a PCI busmaster, but has "Min_Gnt = 0" and "Max_Lat = 0". My questions: From the point of view of a device driver programmer do you have any idea what goes wrong here? What may the 440 stand for? Juergen Tag: Security context for printer driver Tag: 76933

Is there a standard kernel or user mode API, or some document describing the proper algorithm to convert "C:\file" to "\??\C:\file" (or "\Device\...."), and "\\Computer\Share\File" to "\Device\Lanman..." (or whatever), in order to make a user mode file name usable in kernel mode? Thank you. Tag: Security context for printer driver Tag: 76914

    - IoCompleteRequest() from WorkItem Hi Lets say I'm in PASSIVE IRQL in a dispatch function. I mark my irp as pending. Later, I create a workitem that receives the irp as a context and do some work in it. In the end of the workitem's function, I complete the IRP. Back to the dispatch routine - after allocating and queuing the workitem, I return STATUS_PENDING. Now, because I'm in PASSIVE level, there can be a context switch from my dispatch routine to my workitem's function, so it will run and complete the irp, before I return STATUS_PENDING from the dispatch routine. (it means that when I return STATUS_PENDING, the irp is already completed!) Is there a problem with the above scenario? And if so, how should I handle it?

    - WHQL tests not required for Windows XP home? Hi, To get our driver signed for Windows XP Pro and XP Home, do I need to run WHQL test for only XP Pro or both? The document seems to indicate that XP Home is not required. Is this true? Thanks, Ning Tag: Security context for printer driver Tag: 76902

    - Synchronizing the clock of few computers on a LAN Hi, I have about ten computers that needs to be synchronized such as the clock time on each computer is within about 20 ms from the others. There are soft real time applications distributed on the computers that needs to synchronized. Can the windows 2000 and XP w32time service achieve that? Any third party software? Any other way to synchrinize those applications? external devices? -- Thanks, Daniel Tag: Security context for printer driver Tag: 76897

    - OS compatibility When building the samples for W2K I get warnings telling that certain drivers are not compatible with W2K. Is there an easy way to find out why they are not compatible? I have searched the documentation for a table showing the differences between the various OSes but I can't find one. Tag: Security context for printer driver Tag: 76892

    - UDF Filter Driver I have written a filter driver that sits inbetween the UDF and various dvd playback applications. In my filter I need to fail a read and get the application to stop playback. I am doing this by setting Data->IoStatus.Status = STATUS_DEVICE_IO_ERROR; Data->IoStatus.Information = 0; WinDvd interprets it correctly and cleanly stops playback. MediaPlayer (and some other players) start playing ugly static out of the speakers and the time counter keeps climbing eventhough it is no longer playing video. I have tried various other status codes but it doesn't seem to matter. It seems like they are not checking the return status... Any thoughts? -- Still trying to build a perpetual motion machine Tag: Security context for printer driver Tag: 76887
