Pretty sure the light comes from the drive itself... the cause though... is likely a driver gone mad.

I'm pretty sure the issue was coming from Win 8. Here's how I know:
I discovered that Win 8 was not seeing my DVD drive. So I found a fix for that on MSDN that involved adding a registry key and rebooting.
Voila! Not only did Win 8 start seeing my DVD drive, but the hard drive light was back to normal!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

By the way, how do you like working in Win8? ...I've been avoiding it so far, Win7 does everything I need pretty well but I'm not sure if I'll have to migrate sooner or later.

Actually I quite enjoy it. I installed Classic Shell and that does an adequate job of providing a start menu, and it also makes the machine switch right to the desktop after booting.
Win 8 is snappier than 7 and I really like the new Task Manager. Overall, as long as you stay in the desktop, it's just an improved Weven.

I've heard the "snappier" from other people as well... but I guess I'll make the change when I have to. I mostly develop for govt customers and it takes them forever to change as well so I usually want to work in whatever environment most of them are on.

Oh, I know how it is. I created a system for hospitals, and they move slowly as well. This one hospital in NJ has just now begun to adopt 7! 'Til just a couple months ago, they were still on XP.

 yeah, my customers are just adopting Win7 as well...

I'm writing a Uart16550 driver, and one of the things I have to do is read from the registry some initialization parameters using RtlQueryRegistryValues.
(a lot of code skipped...)
RTL_QUERY_REGISTRY_TABLE table[2];
and
table[1].QueryRoutine = NULL;
table[1].Name = NULL;
The parameter is stored in the registry as a REG_DWORD and I'm trying to set my table with:
unsigned long buffer;
(because DWORD is not defined in ntddk.h and I'm not sure if I break anything including WinDef.h) and
table[0].EntryContext = &buffer;
The status of the call to RtlQueryRegistryValues is STATUS_SUCCESS
status = RtlQueryRegistryValues(
RTL_REGISTRY_ABSOLUTE,
path,
table,
NULL,
NULL);
but when I try to
DbgPrint("registry: %lu", buffer)
I get way too big numbers (I expected the result to be 1 or 2).
Am I doing something wrong with the DbgPrint, or my parameters aren't set correctly for the query table?
And where is the RED_DWORD data type defined?
|
|
|
|
|

Whats DWORD defined as, I forget, but probably unsigned int, so just pass one of these.
Also where is your dbgprint(), is it in the call back funtion?
dbgprint is lke printf, so use the same formatting.

I am having a problem making libusb0 to identify ANY USB device.
usb_init(); does not return any values and
iResult = usb_find_busses(); returns 1
and
iResult = usb_find_devices(); returns 0
and the DLL is
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\libusb0.dll', no matching symbolic information found.
The source for the device insists on using "libusb 0.1 ", but there is no such thing.
System and other applications identify ALL USB and the device in question.
Any constructive help will be as always appreciated.

how to break window password from keyboard by any short cut keys???

1. You can't.
2. It's illegal.

Yes, because Microsoft put in there a keyboard shortcut that breaks passwords, can you imagine what kind of security hole that would be?
I think you are looking in the wrong place, we will not help you break into computers. If you are trying to recover your own windows password, its damn near impossible and even Microsoft doesn't have a procedure for this. Password encryption is one-way, meaning once you set a password it can never be decrypted.

So I shouldn't tell him about this[^].
