    - enumerate handles hi there, I tried to make an aplication that monitors the handle of a process. I used ZwQuerySystemInformation with the SytemHandleInformation class, this returns a vector of Objects in the system associated with a process ID of the process that holds the object. I managed to get the object types easily, object names as well. I just had an issue, how do I get the handles associated with each object(for example u have the object for the current process PEPROCESS cProcess, and you can call ObOpebObjectByPointer() and make a lot of handles associated with that object with different security and different access masks ). I managed to get object handle count, for each object. Or how can I get the handle_table associated with a process, I know there is a function called ObReferenceProcessHandleTable but it is not documented and I cannot import it from ntoskrnl.exe. or NTKERNELAPI PHANDLE_TABLE ExCreateHandleTable ( __in_opt struct _EPROCESS *Process ); but the same problem not documented, nowhere to get it from. If u know other places I can get these function pointers from except ntoskrnl.exe or ntdll.dll please help, or i u have any solutions to this issue; thank you in advance Tag: FYI: TechNet Webcast: Windows Hang and Crash Dump Analysis Tag: 88328

    - Installing driver without hardware Hi, As part of a larger installation, I would like to install driver software for PCMCIA hardware that will be attached at a later time. When the hardware is attached, the user should see no wizard of any type. That is, the sorftware to operate the device should be either fully installed during the initial installation, or any additional steps should be invisible to the person using the device. Suggestions on the best way to do this would be greatly appreciated! Jim Tag: FYI: TechNet Webcast: Windows Hang and Crash Dump Analysis Tag: 88310

    - Problems with installation of NDISUIO-based protocol driver Hello, We've succesfully developed a protocol driver based on MS DDK sample NDISUIO and are installing it using the Service Manager API on Win2K/XP. Most of the time everything goes fine, but occasionally, on machines were previous installations went OK, we observe the following: installation seem to complete correctly, but the TCP/IP stack somehow looks unbound from some lower level layer, probably tcpip --for instance DCHP is not able to resolve an IP address and the IP interfaces show a no or limited connectivity status message. When this happens, uninstallaing, doing the installation again and rebooting usually get things straight again. Does this ring a bell to anybody? I can provide more info on demand. Thanks for any information/help. Best regards, Tag: FYI: TechNet Webcast: Windows Hang and Crash Dump Analysis Tag: 88309

    - WIA Scanner Minidriver - Preview Not Working I've written a WIA minidriver and I cannot get the preview button to work. When I click the preview button (on the standard UI) I get a message that start, "An error occurred during preview. If the scanner is being used..." I'm not currently using the scanner and I believe I've defined WIA_DPS_PREVIEW correctly, but in my logs I don't see the driver trying to scan at all when I click preview. Does anyone have any idea why this might be? Thanks in advance, Mike Tag: FYI: TechNet Webcast: Windows Hang and Crash Dump Analysis Tag: 88307

    - Hyperthread issue Hi , I have developed a virutal ethernet driver which runs on a pci card. This works fine on a single cpu machine(celeron) with windows XPE. when i want the same to work on the hyperthread machine (p4) with windows XPE, i am facing a problem. Send handler running in the Dispatch level, is called for the second time by the same cpu(say cpu 1), even before the first call gets completed. The send handler holds a spinlock within that is sends the acknowledgements to the application. During the 2nd call, when the cpu tries to acquire the spinlock, the system hangs. Please let me know whether the above phenomenon is proper and how to avoid this race condition. Regards, Kans. Tag: FYI: TechNet Webcast: Windows Hang and Crash Dump Analysis Tag: 88293

    - NDIS mini-port and an application power management cooperation Hi All, The issue has been already discussed in a few forums. However, I would like to raise another aspect - can a "friendly" application be used in cooperation with NDIS mini-port driver to detect and to initiate the device low power setting. We have encountered the same problem with NDIS mini-port limitations - low power setting while a device idle (no activity). But in our situation we provide both an application and NDIS mini-port driver SW packages. Thus, my question is: Can we involve our application SW in order to initiate the NDIS mini-port driver low power setting? For example, Vista allows DeviceControl (even proprietary ones) IOCTLs communication between an application and device driver. Can such mechanism be used in order to initiate a device low power transition (e.g USB selective suspend) while the device detects idle conditions? Thanks in advance, Avi Tag: FYI: TechNet Webcast: Windows Hang and Crash Dump Analysis Tag: 88285

    - (null) For the past 30 years or so, when seeing the word "(null)" (without the quotes but with the parentheses) output in the middle of an otherwise sensible output string, it has commonly been due to passing a null pointer to printf or similar API. My understanding is that this started with BSD Unix, maybe when someone decided that some abuses of null pointers were less important than others so they made printf display (null) instead of segfaulting, or maybe a coder of printf internals forgot that segfaulting would be a good thing to do, at least during debugging stages. Does a Windows XP API (maybe a native API) do the same thing? Or is it just coincidence? Does the boot-time version of the CHKDSK command pass a null pointer to an API where a non-null pointer is required? Or is it just a coincidence? Maybe the boot-time version of the CHKDSK command intentionally outputs the word (null) to give geeks a scare but maybe it's mostly harmless? It was really really comforting to see Windows XP boot after displaying the following on a blue background: Windows replaced bad clusters in file \pagefile.sys of name (null). Windows replaced bad clusters in file \WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP of name (null). It was really really comforting to see Windows boot after that, and operate without any apparent ill effects. It was really really comforting to see Windows XP robustly survive some strongly suspicious evidence that low-level internals are passing null pointers around where non-null pointers are required. But maybe it was just a coincidence? Or by design? Windows XP internals don't really pass null pointers around where non-null pointers are required, right? They surely wouldn't pass such things to printf, they surely wouldn't pass such things to memcpy, they surely wouldn't write such things into memory descriptors in RAM or file descriptors on disk or anything else like that, right? They've all been verified, right? Tag: FYI: TechNet Webcast: Windows Hang and Crash Dump Analysis Tag: 88271

    - filtering ipnat.sys Has anyone tried to filter ipnat.sys? I have a machine that is using internet connection sharing and I have an NDIS IM driver monitoring the public interface. My IM driver sees NAT'd addresses and I need to associate these addresses to the original addresses. I've seen some stuff on the net about a user mode API which you can use to query the NAT table that ipnat.sys maintains, but I want to do this in kernel mode - perhaps by filtering the interface between tcpip.sys and ipnat.sys. Perhaps I can use a TDI driver to do this, or perhaps I can get my IM driver to send IOCTRL's directly to ipnat.sys to query the NAT table. Any suggestions?

    - Questions about Windows Installer, DIFX and non-device drivers Hi, I am using Wise for Windows Installer for creating an msi package that will install 32-bit non-device minifilter drivers plus the end user app. The driver package consists of three .SYS files, one INF and one CAT file. All of the drivers will be signed with the Authenticode (not WHQL). I am using the latest version of DIFxApp.msm. I have configured my test system (XP) to run in a debug mode, so I can avoid the problems related to signature validation. So far I have been unable to successfully install using the DIFx tools. I have examined the INF using chkinf.bat and fixed all of the errors. This INF works fine when I use right-click menu option "Install". The Setupapi.log shows only warnings related to drivers' signatures, but everything else gets installed. When I use the same INF with the msi and DIFx, the install fails with the msg in the log: "Could not get services associated with driver package". there is no problem with starting the services when I use right-click menu option "Install". 1. Can I use one INF file for all the three signed drivers? "The Requirements for Driver Packages That Are Used with the DIFx Tools" MS doc reads: "Each signed driver package INF must have its own catalog file, which contains the signature for the driver package. The DIFx tools do not support catalog files that contain signatures for more one driver package". Does it mean that I need to have three separate INFs and corresponding catalog files? That would be strange since a single INF works with the setupapi. 2. DDK docs state explicitly that CatalogFile entry in the Version section of the INF file is "for signed antivirus minifilters, this entry contains the name of a WHQL-supplied catalog file. All other minifilters should leave this entry blank. For more information, see the description of the CatalogFile entry in INF Version Section". When I use DIFxApp.msm, the install will fail if there is no CatalogFile entry and there is nothing in the documentation that would suggest this entry is optional. So, I have assumed that when using DIFx tools I must use catalog files even when installing minifilter drivers. Is that correct? 3. The DriverPackageType in the [Version] section is listed as "FileSystemMinifilter". The latest version of the DIFx tools lists only two types: ClassFilter and PlugAndPlay. Should I change that entry to ClassFilter or is it backwards compatible. I recall seeing a post somewhere stating that using FileSystemMinifilter is OK. 4. I came across a post stating: "The issue is if you talk with the DIFx guys they will tell you that non-device drivers are not supported with DIFx. If it works be happy and continue to use it but if you have issues they won't do anything about it right now. Hopefully we will get this resolved (and supported) soon". Does this statement apply to Vista only or DIFx tools in general? What are my options in a situation where I need to use Windows Installer technology to install drivers with the application. My understanding is that there is no other other built-in support for installing drivers using Windows Installer than DIFx. If DIFx does not support non-device drivers it leaves me with no alternative. What am I supposed to do to install in a supported way non-device drivers using Windows Installer technology? I would appreciate your advice. Thanks, Jack Tag: FYI: TechNet Webcast: Windows Hang and Crash Dump Analysis Tag: 88258

    - Q: Are there multiple 'Plug and Play' drivers that I can try for my monitor? Someone jsut gave me a AXESS EP718 17" LCD and it works, but the picture is all pixelly. I have a feeling that it's just about toast, but I'm wonding if it could be a driver issue. I don't have the software that came with it, so I was wondering if there were different versions of XP's 'plug and Play' driver that I could try, to see it it makes any difference. Any other thoughts or ideas? Nice to have a monitor that doesn't take up half my desk, but I don't know how much longer I can look at it. It seems to be constantly changing; sometimes the brightness fades a bit, colour changes a touch or (like just now) the screen vibrates for a second. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Problem with synchronous ReadFile() calls inside the NDIS miniport driver & some strange behaviour...please help URGENT Hello all, I am developing a NDIS miniport driver which also exposes a file interface (for CreateFile(), ReadFile(), WriteFile() etc).I created this file interface inside the MiniportInitialize() function using NdisMRegisterDevice() API. There are few problems which I am getting as follows: 1. If I try to assign different dispatch entry point functions then my driver is breaking the system (I am getting blue screen). The only way to avoid this I found is to use the same function for all the IRP dispatche entry points like below: DispatchTable[IRP_MJ_CREATE] = MyDeviceHook; DispatchTable[IRP_MJ_CLOSE] = MyDeviceHook; DispatchTable[IRP_MJ_READ] = MyDeviceHook; DispatchTable[IRP_MJ_WRITE] = MyDeviceHook; DispatchTable[IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL] = MyDeviceHook; DispatchTable[IRP_MJ_CLEANUP] = MyDeviceHook; NdisInitUnicodeString(&DeviceName, NT_DEVICE_NAME); NdisInitUnicodeString(&DosDeviceName, DOS_DEVICE_NAME); Status = NdisMRegisterDevice(g_NdisWrapperHandle, &DeviceName,&DosDeviceName,&DispatchTable[0],&tapDevice->devObj,&tapDevice->handle); and then use switch cases inside the MyDeviceHook() function for pIrpSp->MajorFunction to direct to particular function for handling read, write, close etc. My question is why I am unable to specify different dispatch entry point functions here? Is it something wrong with NDisMRegisterDevice() API. DDK documentation says that I should use as many different dispatch entry point functions for my different IRP_MJ_XXX codes handle by the driver. 2. Secondly I am using Cancel-Safe Irp (not Ex version) mechanism to pend read Irps until data is available from the other end of my Ndis miniport (i am transferring TCP/IP packets to my the user application via ReadFile()). However, when a read Irp is pending and I call CloseHandle() from my user application to close the handle, I expect that Close Irp will be called but it never get called and my application hangs. Please tell me why is it happening like that? I am using WinDDK (2600~1.110) on my Windows XP machine. Please reply soon as I am meeting deadlines.

    - RNDIS drivers don't support IAD ? I have a USB composite device and one of the subdevice is RNDIS. By monitoring the debug traces with checked build of usb8023.sys and rndismp.sys, I found windows RNDIS driver cannot find the pipes (bulk endpoints and interrupt endpoint) it needs. The USB configuration descriptors use IAD (Interface Association Descriptor) to indicate the group of interfaces by each device. While I modify the USB configuration device on my USB device, it is working fine as ususal. I am speculating the existing RNDIS drivers could not deal with IAD correctly. Anyone in MS can confirm this ? If this is the case, how to approach MS to fix this problem to make it support USB composite device and IAD correctly ? -Gary Tag: FYI: TechNet Webcast: Windows Hang and Crash Dump Analysis Tag: 88242

    - How to send IOCTLs to a filter driver KB uses wrong mutex? The microsoft KB on "How to send IOCTLs to a filter driver" http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q262305 uses a FastMutex to synchronize creation and deletion of control objects. The documentation for ExAcquireFastMutexUnsafe says: ExAcquireFastMutexUnsafe can be safely called only at IRQL = APC_LEVEL. Even if you were to use ExAcquireFastMutex, it sets the IRQL to APC_LEVEL. However, in the MS example, FilterCreateControlObject calls IoCreateSymbolicLink after calling ExAcquireFastMutexUnsafe and the documentation for IoCreateSymbolicLink says: Callers of IoCreateSymbolicLink must be running at IRQL = PASSIVE_LEVEL So is this a bug? Or did I miss some documentation where this is ok? I've run the code and it didn't crash, but according to the documentation, this isn't right.

    - CD/DVD read only - lower filter driver question Hi all, I have implemented a filter driver below CdRom and above StoragePort (atapi in my test case) as a lower filter to CdRom. I see all the traffic and specifially GET_CONFIGURATION resp READ_DISC_INFORMATION opcodes depending on the drive. My questions: To say that the disk is not writable, is it enough to patch the - CurrentProfile in the GET_CONFIGURATION response or - the Erasable bit and Disc Status in the READ_DISC_INFORMATION response I would tend to do the patch work in the respective completion routine and thus take the srb->DataBuffer and amend the buffer data appropriately. Is this the right way / place to do it? Could the SRB's DataBuffer be accessed directly or is it an MDL? Tag: FYI: TechNet Webcast: Windows Hang and Crash Dump Analysis Tag: 88235

    - dont get the removecomplete message from the window XP. Hello, I'm working on WIN32 application which monitors and passes data from and to USB Device which also support serial communication . I monitors device arrival/removal notification ( Serial Port ), by the way, especially while I try to read data from USB device, if i remove usb device from PC, I dont get the removecomplete message from Windows. My process is the following. 1) Device Arrival ( Serial Port -DBT_DEVTYP_PORT) 2) Open Serial Port 3) Write/Read Serial Port 4) Close Serial Port 5) Open USB Device Port 6) Write/Read USB Device 7) if Read Failed, Close USB Device Handle 8) Device RemoveComplete ( Serial Port - DBT_DEVTYP_PORT ) ==> dont get that message . The Device Driver Developer said to me that He verified the following fact. My app closes serial com port, and closes USB Device port, and Device Driver called WinAPI for Windows Event iosetdeviceinterfacestate() to OS. => But My App or the other windows event collector(test program ) dont get that messages. After I kill My App, The RemoveComplete Event is notified. Except closing opened port, what else should I do? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    - Vista, rollback driver In the escrow build, x86, I've updated an inbox driver to my test signed version from Device Manager. It complained that the driver is unsigned, created restore point, etc. Later I wanted to roll it back, but the rollback button was grayed. I did uninstall and remove files. Then Vista immediately found and reinstalled the in-box driver. Two questions: a. Why the roll-back button was grayed? Some error on my side, or a feature of Vista? b. Can we disable the immediate reinstall after removing a driver, or is this considered for future? (Why: suppose that the previous version is bad and crashed. Restoring it will result in... yes, crash ). Regards, --PA Tag: FYI: TechNet Webcast: Windows Hang and Crash Dump Analysis Tag: 88192

    - Mouse Development, use HID-USB or RS-232? Hello, As my senior design project i'm developing a computer pointing device that i'd like the computer to interpret as a mouse. The mouse will eventually be designed to support movement in three dimensions, however if i can just get limited functionality working with the PC, i'll be happy. In that case, i'm trying to determine the best way to implement PC connectivity with the device. I'm trying to wage the amount of effort needed to connect the mouse using the USB HID protocol. The problem is i'm having trouble finding resources on implementing a USB HID device. The datasheets for the microprocessors i'm considering do not document HID integration very well with their devices. Does anyone have any suggestions as to implementation methods (USB or RS-232) ? would HID be the best option even if supporting three dimentions? thanks in advance Tag: FYI: TechNet Webcast: Windows Hang and Crash Dump Analysis Tag: 88167

    - Bugcheck D1 in ks.sys I've written an AVStream video capture driver. When I turn on DriverVerifier, I get bugcheck D1 (!analyze -v output is below). It happens when I insert the filter into GraphEdt.exe, render the preview pin, and hit play. The bugcheck occurs after the first call to Process (right after entering the Run state). The memory being accessed (e3987bc8) is indeed pageable; !pool e3987bc8 2 shows: Pool page e3987bc8 region is Paged pool *e3987b68 size: 70 previous size: 28 (Allocated) *KSpf Owning component : Unknown (update pooltag.txt) It appears the KS.SYS has allocated the KSGATE structure from paged pool (the tag "KSpf" is not used in my driver, so I'm guessing it is KS). It also appears that KS.SYS is calling KsGateTurnInputOn at DISPATCH_LEVEL. I have added code to all of my functions to capture the IRQL coming in, and check it going out, to make sure it is the same; it comes up clean, so I'm 99% sure it's not me forgetting to release a spinlock or something.

However I need to emulate some SCSI commands and need mapped buffers for non-read/write commands processing like test unit ready etc. In scsiport model if I set the mapBuffers to TRUE I will get system virtual address in data pointe for all commands including read/write commands. I beleive creating this mapping is a costly operation. I there a way I can set the mapBuffers to FALSE and then for non read/write commands only get a virtual address to map the physical address?
