    - Force Win98SE to use of WRONG USB2 driver? Force Win98SE to use of WRONG USB2 driver? I bought a no-name USB2 card off EBAY. It came with win98SE drivers, but the driver locks up my system. It's a NEC chip, but there's no clue to the vendor or driver site. I found a driver from a different vendor. I can force 98SE to let me install the wrong driver and it works, Problem is that every time 98SE boots, it thinks it has a new USB card and wants to install drivers. Can I edit the registry to attach the card to the driver? How? Or maybe rewrite the .inf file to point to the driver that works and reinstall? How? Tutorial on .inf files?

    - Using DDK with previous version of VC Ok, I read the release notes for the Win2k3 DDK, and it claims that DDK examples should not be compiled on a previous version of the compiler than what the DDK was written for. However it also says that for Win98/ME drivers there are cases where the driver MUST be compiled using VC6, because a later compiler simply will fail. Does this mean that in order to compile drivers at all you must use the version of the compiler that the DDK is written in? Can I build a driver for 2K or XP using VC6 and the Win2K3 DDK?

    - Winlog screen displayed I need to know when the Winlogon screen is displayed. I want this as it is at this point that my app is going to know that all services are up and running. Winlogon Notification will only send an event after a user logs in and I need to know that we are ready to accept a user to log in. If a user is not going to login to this machine by using the Winlogon Notification I will never know that we are in a run state according to my app. The event before this is Startup and this is too early in the boot process for me to say we are ready to go. Do any of you know how I can tell that the logon screen is there? Is there a service that I can check that will start right about the time of the logon screen? I know that if the machine is set to auto logon a user then I will not get a logon screen but I can then use the Winlogon StartShell to know that we are ready to go.

In my opinion should be SCSI_IOCTL_DATA_IN -Read data from the device. Is not it? Furthermore I looked into latest MSDN Library from January, 2005 but found even more funny things, for both IOCTL documentation saying that SCSI_IOCTL_DATA_IN is â??Write data to the deviceâ??:) Is this correct?

    - Isoch Read/Write with loopback (newbie) I am developing a driver for ISP1582/1583 for very high speed application ( ~200M). I build my driver based on isousb from WinDDK 2k3. My platform is WinXP Sp2. Now, the PC recognizes my board, but when I try using the testing application from isousb to read/write, it does not work. It seems that the testing application from DDK uses the name PIPE04 and PIPE05 directly to open the handle to the pipe. Is there any other way to overcome this problem ? I tried using the simple way, which is open a handle to the device using GUID with CreateFile(), then using ReadFile() and WriteFile() but that fails as well, GetLastError() return 22 - ERROR_BAD_COMMAND [The device does not recognize the command.] I will have to write a loopback mode application as well. The loopback will only depend on user-mode application. Am I right ? Pls enlighten me on this part. Thanks a lot ! Tag: a TOOL to dump memory.dmp into text file ? Tag: 60563

    - Who will free Irp from IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest? From MSDN DDK document, IRPs created using IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest must be completed by calling IoCompleteRequest and not by merely deallocating the IRP with IoFreeIrp. IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest queues the IRPs it creates in the IRP queue of the current thread. Freeing these IRPs without completing them might result in a system crash when the thread terminates as the thread attempts to deallocate the IRP's memory. However, from DDK examples and likes from other sources, I didn't see any FreeIrp or CompleteIrp for this reason. Seems to me the IRP is not freed anywhere through the code. Who frees this IRP?

    - COM port application snooping I have a few devices that connect to PC using COM ports. I want to develop a protocol. Application will open the COM port(non-exclusive access) and send a protocol message. When it receives proper response(if at all) application knew the device and continues to talk. If the data is not expected response, may be this COM port is in use by some other application. So how can I snoop data and take it if it for my application and 'not capture' it if it is not for my application. I am not sure if I can achive it at user level itself. Do I need to dig into driver level. Is upper filter driver needed on all COM ports? Please give guidance on how I can accomplish this simple(for my boss), but not so simple. People who worked on embedded devices think COM port is piece of cake, but dont believe PC side complexities. Atleast educate me complexity here. I saw posts on virtual COM ports, but here I am not looking for any virtual COM ports, only existing ports. May be this snooping is needed on virtual COM also because from PC application all are same, but I dont need to develop any virtual ports. Thanks, Raj Tag: a TOOL to dump memory.dmp into text file ?

    - Trying to send multiple small IRPs -- thread hangs? I have a problem with my driver which is a disk filter. I have to break up read/write requests into multiple smaller requests to send to the disk driver. IoMakeAssociatedIrp() is exactly what I need, but the DDK states that IoMakeAssociatedIrp() can only be used by the top-most driver (FSDs). Heeding the DDK's warning, I have instead written code that calls IoBuildSynchronousFsdRequest() to build an IRP to be sent synchronously to the disk driver. The code is essentially copied verbatim from the DDK samples: KEVENT ke; PIRP Irp; KeInitializeEvent(&ke, NotificationEvent, FALSE); Irp = IoBuildSynchronousFsdRequest(...); stat = IoCallDriver(NextDevice, Irp); if (stat == STATUS_PENDING) KeWaitForSingleObject(&ke, Executive, KernelMode, FALSE, NULL); For some reason all threads that go down this code path end up hanging in IoCancelIrp() when they try to terminate. My event gets set to indicate that the IRP has completed, but the IRP is still queued to the thread. Since the kernel does not BSOD, I presume IoFreeIrp() isn't actually called. My question is two-fold: 1) Is there any reason why IoMakeAssociatedIrp() wouldn't work? I don't see any intrinsic reason for the DDK's stern warning against using this in a lower-level driver. 2) If IoMakeAssociatedIrp() is out of the question, why is my driver causing threads to hang?

    - TDI driver calling ClientEventReceive handler problem I have a TDI driver (for a message-oriented protocol, not TCP/IP) which I am trying to run with a WinSock interface by using a helper DLL. The basic functions such as bind, accept, connect, recv and send are working, but I have found a problem when testing the select function which is not indicating when data is available for reading. The driver in its original form did not provide for the registration of a ClientEventReceive handler, so I have had to change the code to cater for this. Now, when data is received and I call the handler, it is always returning STATUS_DATA_NOT_ACCEPTED: this is with a test program where a single byte of data is available and the ReceiveFlags parameter is set to TDI_RECEIVE_NORMAL | TDI_RECEIVE_ENTIRE_MESSAGE. I have traced into the handler code and can see that it is checking AfdPollListHead which indicates that there is nothing on the list, though of course without access to the AFD source code it is impossible to tell whether this is really relevant to my problem. Does anyone have any ideas about what might cause this problem? Am I right to assume that the WinSock select depends on the ClientEventReceive handler accepting the data?

Thatâ??s itâ?¦ However, with this my StartService() call fails with the following error â??The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashionâ?? Not sure whatâ??s missingâ?¦â?¦ Thanks... Tag: a TOOL to dump memory.dmp into text file ? Tag: 60476

    - CDRW I recently replace my CDROM hard drive with a CDRW 52x32x52 Rosewill and I am having problems. It does not display under "My Computer" nor does it automatically start working on a CD when you put in a software program, however if I put a CD in the CDROM drive, then go to "MY COMPUTER" it shows the 'D' drive and I have to double click to start my program running. WHY IS THIS? Tag: a TOOL to dump memory.dmp into text file ? Tag: 60466

    - NDIS Miniport Serial Driver Hi, i currently have two modems attached on serial ports which i would like to run TCP/IP over when a link is established. Although i can get one machine to accept a connection and one to dial in, i ideally want a bi-directional link... that is either side can initiate a connection. From my exeperiments once a port is listening for incoming calls an outgoing connection cannot be made. This is purely with the available services on our XP machines. I have played about with the windows DDK and have seen the virtual serial port driver which emulates the responses of a Hayes AT modem. One of my thoughts is to have the modem appear as a network device under the network and dialup connections folder. When an incoming call is accepted the network device would be available, and appear disconnected at all other times. I would control the logical link (dialing and link detection) in the driver layer. >From my short searches on newsgroups it seems this question is similair to other peoples. Even if the bidirectional dial in / dial out can be done by other means, i am still interested in creating a network device which controls a device on the serial port for our propriatory radio modems.

    - NDIS_TASK_TCP_LARGE_SEND NDIS_TASK_TCP_LARGE_SEND structure member definition from MSDN Home > MSDN Library > Win32 and COM Development > Driver Development Kit > Network Devices and Protocols > Reference > NDIS > Structures Used by NDIS Drivers MinSegmentCount A miniport driver set this to the minimum number of segments that a large TCP packet must be divisible by before the transport can offload it to a NIC for segmentation. The transport will not offload a large packet to the miniport driver for segmentation unless the miniport driver can create at least MinSegmentCount segments from the packet. If a large TCP packet does not meet the minimum-segment requirement, the TCP/IP transport itself segments the packet into smaller packets. The 1st sentence and the 2nd does not seem to match each other. Is it the expected minimum segment count input from TCP/IP transport to NIC before segmentation offload (my interpretation from 1st sentence) or is it the expected minimum segments that the NIC segmentation offload can create for a given packet passed from TCP/IP transport (my interpretation from 2nd sentence)? Regardless, I am not quite sure why this parameter is important. How does any value other than 1 make sense? Anyone can explain? Doesn't "MaxSegmentCount" by NIC offload engine make more sense? If PDU is larger than MaxOffloadSize*MaxSegmentCount, the NIC offload engine won't be able to do the right segmentation. TCP/IP transport should not offload in this case. Thanks!

    - network connection icons I am trying to figure out when and how network connection icons are created while a network device driver is installed. I see that this is directly related to the keys in the registry at HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{}, but what cases them to be created? The reason why I am interested is because I have a MUX IM based driver that keeps creating new entries upon installation and de-installation and I would like that to stop. -- davidg Tag: a TOOL to dump memory.dmp into text file ?

    - Is it possible to use named pipes in a kernel mode device driver? Hi, please forgive me if that's a stupid question, but I'm currently starting to write my first device driver. I'm trying to use named pipes in the devide driver code and therefore had to include kernel32.lib. The code is compiled and linked fine, but upon driver installation XP says that it cannot load the driver. If I remove kernel32.lib from TARGETLIBS, the driver is loaded without problems. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Michael Tag: a TOOL to dump memory.dmp into text file ? Tag: 60432

    - Smartcard Device Path exerciser test fail Hi, I have two questions if anyone could help... 1) I have a smartcard driver that does not implement the IRP_MJ_READ or IRP_MJ_WRITE, however in the device path exerciser test, it pounds the driver with zwwritefile and zwreadfile requests. This of course gets rejected by the OS as I do not register any IRP_MJ_WRITE or IRP_MJ_READ handling routines. The test then says the DevPathExer has stopped making progress... Attempting to resume thread. Is this normal or do I need to do something about the WRITE and READ? 2) Also after the above occurs, the test will think the thread is hung and continue to the next case. the next case sends a zwDeviceIoControl command (which I can't find any info on) and hangs... in my windbg, I can see the message telling me an IRP dispatch handler has returned without passing down or completing this IRP or someone forgot to return STATUS_PENDING. When I do a !IRP, it tells me Irp is active with 2 stacks 2 is current but not much more info. It seems to be the IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL, but in my code that handles that call, all I do is pass the IRP to the smartcarddevcicecontrol API which is suppose to handle, complete, pass on...etc... the IRP for smartcard readers. Thus I'm not understanding why I'm getting the error. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Tag: a TOOL to dump memory.dmp into text file ? Tag: 60431

    - _CL_ setting in DDK's setenv.bat Curious about these explicit settings in the DDK's setenv.bat (3790): set _ML_=/Zvc6 set _CL_=/Ztmp set _LINK_=/Tmp There seems to be no documentation of any of them anywhere, and the only reference appears to be in "i386mk.inc" in the entire DDK. I believe they have stayed like that for a while. Now that it gives a warning (warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '/Ztmp') for each and every single user-mode component that I build with PREfast, I've come to a point that I'd like to understand better the intent behind these settings and what to do to get rid of the warning without introducing problems down the road (yep, I cannot bear with any dust in the code, and am living in a glass house 8-) Thanks in advance for any insight. Apologize if this is a wrong forum for the question, or if it was answered before (I did look left and right before the post). Regards, -Brian Tag: a TOOL to dump memory.dmp into text file ?

    - Printer driver installation from Windows 2003 Clustere server to W Windows 2003 Clustered server has a new method to install printer drivers. Previously, the admin had to install the printer drivers to the each node of the clustered server and delete the printers. Then he/she could install the printer driver to the clustered server. The new way is to install the printer driver to the clustered server directly from an outside the machine (no nodes for the clustered server). Installing the printer driver to the Windows 98 client fails if I use the new installation method. The installation process does not know where to find some/all driver files. But the old installation method does not have any problems. Is Microsoft aware of this issue? Is Windows 98 client officially not supported by Windows 2003 Clustered server? Is there a workaround or solution? Please let me know. Thank you. Tag: a TOOL to dump memory.dmp into text file ? Tag: 60428

    - Printer Driver for Windows 2003 Clustered Server Printer drivers installed on NT4.0 client from the Windwos 2003 Clustered server has a serious performance problem with displaying the Properties and Printing Preferences. When I opened the Properties on NT4.0 client, "General", "Sharing", "Ports", "Advanced", "Color Management", and "Security" pages open fine. But the vendor specific pages load extremely slow. It takes about one to two minutes to open a page. Then when I press "OK" or "Cancel" button, it also takes the same long time to close the Properties window. Samething happens to opening the Printing Preferences page. I checked other vendor's drivers by installing them to Windows 2003 Clustered server and NT4.0 client environment. The same thing happens. Opening the vendor specific pages takes a long time. Could you please let me know if Microsoft is aware of this problem and if there is a walk-around or a solution? Thank you.

    - Changing the name of a driver's DriverEntry entry point? The DDK says that this is possible, but I can't figure out how to do this. I tried to override the options to the linker, providing a new '/entry:' option, but the utility simply puts it's own "/entry:DriverEntry" at the end, after my change. The line that sets the driver's entry point is in makefile.new, but I can't figure out a way to override that setting (sets DRIVER_ENTRY macro) either from the command-line or from the SOURCES file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Brian Tag: a TOOL to dump memory.dmp into text file ? Tag: 60414

Hi Experts:

Is there a tool which can "translate" all information saved in a memory dump
file (a kernel memory dump, or a complete memory dump) into a plain text
file?

I'm looking at using dumpchk, kd or windbg. But not sure how to get it done.

Thanks for your info.

The important imformation you will get with "!analyze -v" either in cdb or
windbg
