I get the following now in the output log. I really wish I hadn't attempted to update the version. What a hassle. Can anyone diagnose the issue here? Was trying to go from Hudson ver. 1.341 to the latest. 1.361? All I see now when I go to the hudson url is: Please wait while Hudson is restarting... Your browser will relo...
I can't seem to find an API call that returns the driver name for a Windows printer. Note that I'm not talking about the friendly name of the printer in the printer folder, I'm talking about the name of actual driver being used as shown on the "Advanced" tab when you look at the printer properties: I'm trying to detect when I'm printi...
It's calling these API functions (advapi32.dll) with these parameters: CryptCreateHash ( 3275488, 32771, 0, 0, 1243424 ); CryptHashData ( 3203040, 'UY30930037661', 13, 0 ); CryptCreateHash ( 3276304, 32771, 0, 0, 46463812 ); CryptHashData ( 3203296, '-585164138661', 10, 0 ); CryptCreateHash ( 3276304, 32771, 0, 0, 46463808 ); CryptH...
I'm a complete WinDbg newbie and I've been trying to debug a WindowsXP problem that a customer has sent me where our software and some third party software prevent windows from logging off. I've reproduced the problem and have verified that only when our software and the customers software are both installed (although not necessarily ru...
I made a program to mute microphone using WinAPI and it seems to work perfectly in Windows XP but doesn't do a thing in Windows 7. Is it possible to control microphone volume or mute with WinAPI in Windows 7? void setVolume(DWORD volume) { HMIXER mixer; if (mixerOpen(&mixer, 0, 0, 0, 0) != MMSYSERR_NOERROR) { MessageBoxW(NULL, L"Er...
I am using SQLConfigDataSource to create an ODBC MS Access data source programmatically. It works most of the time, but fails if the DBQ value (i.e., path to the Access database) in the lpszAttributes string contains more than 148 characters (far fewer than MAX_PATH). Has anyone ever run into this before? Any possible workarounds? ...

CListCtrl has a CHeaderCtrl 'built-in' and we want to override it with something customized, i.e a class which derives from CHeaderCtrl. What's the best/correct way to do this, assuming we have a dialog CMyDlg which contains a CListCtrl m_List, and a custom header CCustomHeader. ...
Hi, I have a program with several worker threads, and a main thread that receives jobs. In the main thread I want to queue the jobs onto a synchronized queue, and have the worker threads sitting there all waiting on the queue.

I'm trying to improve the portability of a C++ app by using boost:threads instead of our own wrapper over Win32 threads, and the issue of graceful thread termination (again) rears its ugly head. On pure win32, I 'interrupt' threads by using QueueUserAPC to throw a "thread_interrupt" exception which causes all RAII objects to cleanup on ...

Environment is VC++ 9 on various Win platforms (XP and later) I'm writing an unhandled exception handler.

My question is twofold: Can such an exception occur in user space? If s...
