You need to look at the information on the BSOD; it is telling you why the crash occurred.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

There's a chance the hardware in your computer is bad, in other words, the devices and circuitry inside your computer is probably fried or suffered water damage to the point it's causing serious issues for your system. How long has you since not used it? Did anything happen to it in the past that you may think is causing it a problem now?
What I would do is get a hard drive enclosure for a internal hard drive for a laptop and take all your documents off it and copy it to an external hard drive and then re-image your PC (reinstall Windows) with the internal hard drive in it (after putting your documents in a safe place).

In safe mode look at your system recovery settings and set it to create a full kernel dump when it crashes.
Then go to \system\ and look for memory.dmp
Copy it to another machine and install Windbg and open the dmp file.
Look in the Help and set the symbol path to Microsofts public symbols (search for symsrv in Help) then do an analyze -v and see what it says.
Then google the resultant error message, you could have a dodgy driver, there are plenty about, or it could be bad memory.
If you think you have found a bad driver restart the machine and run Verifier.exe at a command prompt and then set it to specifically check that driver, selecting most of the test options except 'low resource simulation' and the 'force delayed IO' or whatever it is called, reboot into normal mode, and see what happens.
If it blue screens again you *should* get a Verifier BSOD (blue screen of death) that will tell you more about the particular error. Then you can get an updated driver off the net or bitch to the company that made that crappy driver and get them to write you a new one.

When I start USBSpy I get a message: "Warning the driver is not loaded".
OS is Windows 7 64bit.
I cant find any info to help me out. Does anyone know how to fix?
Thanks.

Hi,
1- download this file :
http://www.everstrike.com/download/usbspy_64bit.exe
2- remove the previous USBspy driver form "control panel"
3- i recommended you restart your pc
4- after restart completed, if you have an Antivirus program
disable it till the next restart.
5- setup the file you downloaded in step 1.
6 - restart your computer
ready to go

I have 4GB RAM on my PC having 32bit Windows 8 Pro installed
however in system properties it shows 4GB (2.66GB usable)
I wonder whether all my RAM is consumed or not?

32-bit versions of Windows are able to use up to 4 gigs of RAM. However, at times they might report a smaller amount as usable. Try flashing your BIOS to the latest version. That fixes most of memory issues. Go to the manufacturer's website for the latest BIOS drivers.
Also from the screenshot, your computer has a 64-bit CPU. Try getting a 64-bit version of Windows.

Hi,
the simple solution use the 64-bit version of windows.
the other solution is that , you use a VGA " graphic card " that used a shared memory and he is taking from your ram , and to solve this go to your "Bios" and search for " Onboard VGA " or what equals it , then set your amount of ram that the VGA can use as a memory .

I am trying to change the tab stops on the printer before I send formatted text (w/Tabs) to it. I can change the tab stops in stringFormat and use it when calling DrawString but they are completely ignored, e.g.,
Dim string_format As New StringFormat
Dim tabs As Single() = {20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20}
string_format.SetTabStops(0.0F, tabs)
e.Graphics.DrawString(txt, m_Fonts(para.FontNumber), _
Brushes.Black, layout_rect, string_format)
Anybody got any ideas? One would 'think' that this should be pretty straight-forward.

I am creating a UMDF driver which needs to change the brightness of the LCD back light.
The following line of code works in a Console App and successfully returns a handle to the device:
HANDLE hDevice = CreateFile(L"\\\\.\\LCD", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0);
However, when I use the exact same piece of code in my driver it returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE and GetLastError() gives code 5 which is 'Access is denied'
The driver is being debugged remotely on an x64 Windows 7 machine using the standard WDKRemoteUser profile.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Do I need to set permissions and, if so, how?

I'm not sure that you can use a normal CreateFile() call in a driver; see here[^] for further information.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

He would get a compile error of CreateFile() was not part of the UMDF (User mode driver frame work) API,, so it he wont need to use the kernel equivalent.
He could try MAMIMUM_ALLOWED, always a usefull trick to get at least something open, and then look at the privileges his shell is running and what his driver set.

I'm not sure why you are telling me this, I would think the OP would be more interested. Although almost a month on I doubt it.

Thought you might be interested to know that UMDF is a usermode driver so will use the win32 API and not the kernel API. Of course you are free to not give a sh*t if you like.

My computer is connected to 2 Local Area Network.
One of them have internet access, and the other one don't.
But while browsing, the internet seems like working periodically.
Why I use two LAN?
It's because the one which had internet access is Mifi. (ZTE)
I'm not good about networking.
I need to connect both of them with my internet working properly, is it possible?
Sorry for bad english.
Edit :
Solved !!
Yes, your computer can access more than one network at a time, but it can't be through the same network interface.
IE, you can't be connected to two different wireless networks, or two different wired networks at the same time, through the same "card". Now, if you had an internal wireless adapter, and then a PCMCIA or USB adapter, then each could connect to a separate network.
The easiest way, since you're using wireless right now to access the internet, is set up a wired connection to the new router that's going to be stand alone.
The only thing you'll have to make sure is that the two networks are on different subnets. What I mean by that is:
If the wireless IP is currently 192.168.0.X, then the wired would have to be anything above 192.168.1.X. To avoid network confusion, don't put a default gateway in on the wired network, so the only adapter the computer will try to use for internet access is the wireless link.

When does windows read its inf (usb driver) files?
Does it do it during the boot process?
Or as part of device enumeration?
Or something else?
Thanks.

info file is read by windows when you insert your USB to your machine(under some condition). It also can by executed by windows when you double click on the drive icon in mycomputer.
In my case, I never let info file to be executed. If I see any info file I dont care the owner of the usb device, I simply delete the file.
I wish I could believe there is an after life.

This is bad advice, ignore it.

An inf file is a setup file. It associates a hardware ID, such as you will see in the Manufacturers section, with various registry entires, the most important of which is the service entry since it determines the form of the HKLM\sys\CCS\Services\ entry for that device (or filter or whatever).
You will also get a Hardware entry in the Registry that associates that Service for a particular Hardware ID, if it is a driver for hardware.
Check the DDK/WDK for more info on inf files and driver installation.

I've got an Acer Aspire 8920 laptop which I bought about four years ago. It's still going okay with one annoying habit and that's its inability to keep proper time. When I power it on after a few hours switched off the date and time could be as daft as 2003 as it is 2033. Neither the month, day or time bear any resemblance to the actual.
I've never had to replace the CMOS battery in any PC or laptop but maybe this is the first time I now need to. The CMOS battery isn't a traditional coin-like battery. Instead, it's a sort of loom-connected type of battery which is buried in some awkward to get at location.
Question is: do you think it's the CMOS battery that's doing it? Once I've powered on I can eventually synchronise the date and time and it keeps time okay. Only during power-off does the time go a bit mental. If not the CMOS does anything else come to mind?

It's not quite the same but the battery is similar in design. So it looks like it is the culprit. It's borne out by the fact that I no longer switch off the mains plug in the wall. I leave it on now and following several reboots the time hasn't failed once. If I switch off at the mains and reboot with an hour or two the time is also fine. Overnight without power is when it gets really messed up. The problem with the time isn't just making the file system look odd but it affects the lifetime of certificates as well.
I'll look around the another battery. I did once pull the case apart to get to it but it was a pig to get at and the connector is so tiny you need a micro surgery machine to put it back!
Thanks for the confirmation.

It's pretty easy to find 15" quad core laptops with anything up to 24MB but 17" is harder to come by. Asus sill supply the N75 but you can only get it with dual core (in the UK), their 15" equivalent N55 has been superseded by the N56 which does have quad core options but the 17" hasn't had the same upgrade yet (and by the reviews I've seen the Nx6 versions have better build quality to boot).
Dell supply a 17" consumer quad core laptop with 6MB (4 + 2), requiring a manual installation of a replacement 4MB memory module to get the 8MB, and they have a business version with 8MB as standard.
After that you have to look at gaming laptops which tend towards £1500.
The most demanding tasks I'll use it for involve Visual Studio, the occasional linux / Virtual Box session, maybe some GIMP work plus the other usual stuff, browsing, e-mail plus very occasional gaming.
Anyone got any recommendations?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
A bit of an odd one. Does anyone know what file system\format Canon EOS cameras use for there CF cards?
Thanks.
