I want to access \Registry\Machine\Software key from a driver. The driver is loaded prior to the registry key. Do I have to poll the key availability? Or there is something I can wait for? ...
I somewhat confused because I've read that "everything" should be possible at IRQL_PASSIVE, but I am not so sure whether this includes winsock2 or other userland libraries. My normal understanding would be to use the WSK interface. But it would be much more comfortable if I could use normal sockets. As I am running into builder errors a...
We have written an application that manages OpenVPN from the tray as an add-on for a bigger software package. OpenVPN includes a file called tapinstall.exe that installs the OpenVPN adapter (or any driver for that matter). Doing some research, this file is the exact same as a command-line tool called devcon that Microsoft includes in t...
BACKGROUND I am using a commercial application on windows that creates a drawing This application allows only two output options: (1) save as a bitmap file and (2) print to a printer the bitmap is useless for my purposes - I want the vectors Looking at the print output (I sent to the Windows XPS print driver) it seems clear based on th...
Within a Thread in IRQL 0 the completion routine, triggered from an IRP, for a WskSendTo call is sometimes in IRQL 2 and sometimes in IRQL 0. This seems mighty strange to me. Does anyone know if this is normal behaviour? ...

There's supposed to be an example downloadable here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd163212.aspx But there's no ...
Is it possible to install a keyboard filter driver(like ctrl2cap) while windows is running and not having to reboot? I tried it once with a driver loader but I got a BSOD. If it is possible what was I doing wrong? What can I do next time to not get a BSOD? Also, if it is possible, could I do it with c++? Thanks for the help! ...

We commonly use MS Visual Foxpro v9.0 SP1, the language, tables, and reports. However, sometimes we use an ODBC driver to connect to the tables. The ODBC driver was written for Foxpro v6, and doesn't support certain nested selects, autoincrement fields, or embedded casts. We would like to find an alternative to what we have. It could...

I am trying to turn my touchpad into a cheap drawing tablet so I need to read the raw unprocessed x and y coordinates of where it was touched relative to the physical touchpad. So if I touch the bottom left corner of the touchpad, it should correspond to (0,0) etc. I am trying...
How would I go about calling a dll from kernel mode? I have tried making a custom lib file using multiple techniques but I cannot get anything to work. I have also researched on google but cannot seem to find anything. I was also curious if it was possible to create entries in the import addres table from c++ or at link time? Thanks for...
Using .NET I have a text file with comma separated data. One of the columns consists of text like the following : 1997/020269/07 Now when I do a select with an OdbcCommand the string is seen as a float and it returns the 'answer' instead of the actual text! How can I get the actual text? Am I going to be forced to parsing the file ma...
Hey all. I am troubleshooting a thermal printer issue when printing over bluetooth. The printer in question is Extech 3750T and the software is running on Windows CE. The driver is implemented on top of Winsock and is written in C++. As far as I can tell the connection housekeeping is all according to spec. The issue seems to be that so...
How could I communicate with a driver from a usermode application over a network? I can't have the driver communicate with a local usermode application which then communicates with the remote application because that wouldn't work for what I'm doing. I was thinking of using named pipes but I'm not sure if that would work over a network. ...

The printer is always local (we aren't dealing with a remote print server or anything like that). I'd like to create a new local port (specific for our application), then configure the printer to be assigned to that port inste...
