Hi!
I have several users connected through terminal services to a windows server 2003 64 bit. When a user sends some document to printer and tries to close session it hangs for several minutes.
After searching, i found some articles[^] pointing this issue. This occurs because there is a process (Splwow64.exe) that remains in memory for several minutes. This process is used to convert between 32 bit and 64 bit applications. This process remains in memory in order to increase system performance and unloads from memory after a specified time from the end of the last job. We can specify this time adding or editing the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\SplWOW64TimeOut (DWORD) and setting here the number of minutes to stay in memory before unloading.
Although this can be good for performance, it causes RDP sessions to hang when short time has passed after the user has done his last print and tries to close the session. The minimum value we can set SplWOW64TimeOut is 1. If we set it to 0, the application just hangs completely.
Is there any way to set this process to unload as soon as the job ends?

Hi, folks.
I have a new ASUS laptop. Recently a icon has begun to appear on my taskbar called "HViewer". It offers no context menu and double-clicking it does nothing. It does not appear in the TaskManager application list. It just sits there in my taskbar, mocking me!
How can I figure out what this thing is and if I don't need it, how can I get rid of it? I've searched the ASUS website and nothing shows up.
'til next we type...

What have you done to your computer before this icon appear? Did you install any software or device driver?
Jesse Evans wrote: It just sits there in my taskbar, mocking me!
Try to check in your control panel in add/remove program and find this icon name in the list of installed software. Or right click on your task bar and point to tool bar whether this application list in the tool bar. Hope this help

You can try using "services.msc" ............
startmenu ->run--> type "services.msc" . a window will appear....
check for the service with the name like "Hviewer",etc...if it exists right click it and stop the service...........

Run msconfig.exe. That will tell you all the apps that run on startup, and whether they are initiated as services, from the registry, or from the startup folder.

If it is in the taskbar as a running app, the SysInternals process explorer app can give you more info on what program is running.
If it is really in the Quick Launch section of the taskbar, those are links, displayed from directory %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\QuickLaunch. (%USERPROFILE% is usually C:\Documents and Settings\username.)

Nope. And it does not always show up.

Not there, either.

I did one better; I used autoruns from sysinternals. Nothing there named HViewer.

I'll give that (Process Explorer) a go next time it shows up. It does not appear at startup; only shows up later (sometimes).
Thanks for the help so far. You people are great!

To identify the one process connected to the icon you should try to identify all the other one's.
Take a list of processes running while it appears, subtract the ones you can identify, then subtract the system processes, then subtract the active programs that do not have a taskbar icon (100% positive), then from that list try to identify it.
Or take a screenshot of the icon and post it for all to see.

Hi,
When I print a page from notepad to the printer connected in a network, it is showing an message "RPC server is not available" and when I go to see the printer properties, It is showing "Printer spooler is not running". so I restarted these two services (RPC and printer spooler) in services under adminstrative tools. but still the problem exist.
Please help me
Regards

Well you must first take permission from the printer service on the other computer so your computer detect that printing is now priveleged from your computer via the other network one!!
To follow the path, Walk with the MASTER, See through the MASTER, Be the MASTER!

Does your printer able to print on local attached printer? Is this problem just occure or it has a problem since windows install on this computer? If this problem occure since windows install on this computer, it mean that your windows installation file is corrupted or missing.

bootable? are you talking about autorun?
If yes you can add an autorun.inf that contain something like this code:
[AutoRun]
OPEN=MySetUpSubFolder\SetUp.exe
ICON=MyIcon.ico
(It will be execute only if the PC where you will insert the CD has autorun enabled.)

No, Russell' bootable means that when the PC is turned on it won't read operating system and start Windows for instance on drive C:\ but it will start by reading the very FIRST 512Kb Sector of the CD-ROM which contains a special program called the boot program and the BIOS is responsible for loading this program in memory and then this program will become in charge!

I know this , but I was hoping that the OP was wronging the word, make the boot disk to install Win XP is not a grat idea, it's very complex and if you wrong something it's hard to restore the system.

Please nkjha1 read first my reply to Russel', and then you must know that since you had the files you should order/get from Microsoft the CD IMAGE of Windows XP which burns the boot sector first and then the other files similar to the ones on your harddisk, this is a bit hard to be done manually since you must locate the bootsector program first! I strongly advice you to ask for a replacement of the orignal CD-ROM and not do it by hand!!

Your right about how to create a boot disk but the boot program on the first 512KB Sector is not DOS's one and you must know exactly where to find that specific boot sector program and not just any program!

Creating a local user with following code running in a web application works fine, but only if I exexute the web application in debugger.
// Create OS user
DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" +
Environment.MachineName + ",computer");
DirectoryEntry newUser = directoryEntry.Children.Add(name, "user");
newUser.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] { password });
newUser.Invoke("Put", new object[] { "Description", "MyUser" });
try
{
newUser.CommitChanges();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return "CommitChanges: " + e.Message;
}
The attempt to create a user after deploying the web application on IIS fails with the following error message:
"General access denied error."
I use windows integrated authentication in my web application and even if logon is done as administrator on the server maschine, creation of a user fails. All other logic of the web application works. I do not know, which security settings have to be configured on Windows Server 2003 with IIS6.0 to allow creation of a user.

I have some apps that print on ticket/receipt type printers. They use CreateFile()to open e.g. LPT1: or COM3: then WriteFile() to print. Fine. "Modern" PCs don't have serial and parallel ports, but almost enough USB ports. So we instal a USB-serial adapter, and I can now use COM5: or whatever. Instal a USB-parallel adapter, and WHAT THE ???? IS THE THING CALLED? In other words, what string do I pass to CreateFile()? I've been up several blind alleys, and figure that watching this board for replies is preferable to brick wall-induced concussion!
 If I've posted this on the wrong board, please tell me where to go.
Thanks,
Peter

Depends on how sane your USB-Parallel adapter is but it should still be LPT1: unless you also have a genuine parallel port. There will be a horrible, USB style, mile long device name as well but the chances of using that successfully in any software designed to talk to COM1: or LPT1: I would rate at low to very low.
If LPT1: is absent then a session of poking around in Device Manager or SysInfo should give you your answer.
Good Luck.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

Yes, the machines I'm testing on both have a real LPT1:, and yes, the long USB name (or bits thereof) is unusable. Further spelunking in the SDK doco led me to QueryDosDevice() and DefineDosDevice(). Using these, I can create a LPT2: device, attached to the same \Device\USBPDO-? that the USB alphabet soup is linked to. It works most of the time - I think I have a USB timing issue, since firing up a (software) USB protocol analyser makes it work better. LPT2: doesn't survive a reboot, but I can handle all that in startup code.
Thanks
