I've been logging into my windows xp machine under a user thats a member of the administrators group, i know this bacause i checked "User Accounts" and it even says i'm Computer administrator with password protection.
My question is why do some programs like taskmgr is saying "Task Manager has been desabled by your administrator" when i try to open it?
Theirs a hudge possiblility for maleware also, but i'd like to try and fight it so i can learn from it.
Are there any patches for taskmgr for this sort of thing?

Look for an entry in Group Policy. I couldn't tell you where to look, since it confuses the heck out of me, too, but it's in there.

Follow the link Roath posted. It has nothing to do with you being, or not being, an Admin. It has everything to do with being disabled by Policy, without any regard to who you are.
Because of a Policy restriction, the machine is just not allowed to run Task manager. It's that simple.

Hi All,
currently i am developing an application for audio playback, including local and online resources. I planned to use WMP SDK to help, however, one of my function needs me to be able to select/change the default audio device, however, it is not support by the SDK. I would like to know is there any other method to do so?
thanks a lot

StarMeteor,
Change the registry settings in:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Multimedia\Sound Mapper
To the other device by "Name" in the keys - Playback and Record.
hope that helps..

Thanks for you reply
however, I found a problem ... I use regedit to look into registy but fail to locate the key you mention.... any suggestion?
Thanks

StarMeteor,
Yes, my mistake, apparently that only works with a soundblaster or compatable card installed.
Sorry, I'm no expert with the MP9 sdk and I don't have two audio devices installed so I've got no way to test this but in the IWMEncDeviceControl.GetInput and IWMEncDeviceControl.SetInput functions it looks like this is where microsoft is doing that (IWMEncDeviceControl Object).
Sorry I can't help you more, Take a look and see if this is what your looking for. (Notice the audio devices.. not the video devices)

Hi all:
I'm setting up a IPv6 environment and in which I can reach to a computer by pinging it from a XP host using "ping/ping6 fe80::e0:4cff:fe62:b619%5"(ping Link Local Address including the scope id), but when I changed the pinging source from XP to Win 2003 server the "destination host unreachable" was displayed. Is there any obvious answers as to how this could happened, or any references are available?
|

The only obvious answer is that there is no route between the 2003 machine and the ping target machine. Exactly what's causing that can't be determined from the error message.
You'll have to make sure the IP config on the 2003 machine is good and make sure that any switch/router devices between the two machines are configured properly. What that entails is up to each device you have in the LAN/WAN path.

The role of the subsystem DLLs is to translate a documented function into the appropriate internal (and generally undocumented) Windows system service calls. This translation might or might not involve sending a message to the environment subsystem process that is serving the user application.
I thought it means "an application doesn't to do harm to the OS" !!
thanks

This doesn't make any sense without some kind of context. What are you reading that says this???
"subsystem DLLs" can mean anything. There's nothing special about a "subsystem DLL" from any other .DLL.
None of this does any "harm" to the OS...

Hello
One of my friends has got a problem in his PC. He says,
"I have to start up a pc I don't know what type of hardware it is. But it is Compaq. When I start it, Windows 98 begins to load up but nothing happens. When I reboot it and press F10 MS Dos starts and a utility appears to check up the hardware with different options. But upon selecting any one options nothing happens. It just holds on. What may be the problem and how can I solve it."
Can you please tell me how can we fix it.
Thank you.

Ask your friend, did he install any hardware or application before this problem occure? Is it possible to load into safemode environment?

3 possibilities:
1) A software installation gone bad has corrupted Windows. You MIGHT be able to recover it by uninstalling the last software that was installed, if you can get Windows started in Safe Mode.
2) Spyware/Virus has corrupted Windows. Good Luck, at this point, your better off reformatting the drive and starting over.
3) Hardware problems. Either bad RAM or a bad motherboard.

Hello All,
Today in a computer system, which is having MSSQL-Server in it, its MSSQLSERVER and SQLSERVERAGENT services stopped.
On starting SQLServerAgent service, this message comes:
error 1068: The depending service for group failed to start.
So can anybody tell me how to start this SQLServerAgent and MSSQLSERVER services as on manually starting these services these services are not starting.
Thanks in advance,

Hi, we're using Disk Space Inspector from Avexsoft (http://www.advexsoft.com/?source=g_dsi) for disk space allocation monitoring and management. It's cool and all. Just wondering though, is there any Open Source/Free equivalent?

Okay, I've been looking at a few articles on the network stack buffer sizes, and for the life of me can't see where to set the default value for UDP, though I can see it for TCP.
http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/nethub/article.php/3485486[^]
I can set it in Winsock in code for a new socket (SO_RCVBUF), but not as a default in the registry from what I can tell.
Anyone know how to do this for UDP, so the network stack uses a larger buffer for datagrams?

Hi all I am using the MSPLOT driver as a model to build a monolithic printer
driver, what I am trying to do is have the driver create a engine managed
bitmap and hook some functions to it, when the driver cannot process the
drawing instruction it must punt to the GDI using ENGxxx function.
The code is something like this at DrvEnablePDEV:
SurfSize.cx = pPDev->HorzRes;
SurfSize.cy = pPDev->VertRes;
hHeap = GetProcessHeap();
pPDev->pbBitmap = (LPBYTE)HeapAlloc(hHeap, HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY,
(SIZE_T)(pPDev->HorzRes * pPDev->VertRes));
if (pPDev->pbBitmap == NULL)
{
TRACE_WARN("WARNING - BITMAP buffer not allocated reverting to Kernel
buffer",0);
// Should this be NULL GDI will allocate a buffer in kernel mode for the
bits
}
(HBITMAP)pPDev->hSurf = (HBITMAP)EngCreateBitmap( SurfSize, SurfSize.cx,
BMF_1BPP, BMF_TOPDOWN | BMF_NOZEROINIT, pPDev->pbBitmap );
// GDI punting, we shall call for a an engine managed bitmap to be called to
if (!EngAssociateSurface(pPDev->hSurf, (HDEV)pPDev->hpdev, HOOK_BITBLT |
HOOK_STRETCHBLT | HOOK_COPYBITS | HOOK_STROKEPATH | HOOK_FILLPATH |
HOOK_STROKEANDFILLPATH | HOOK_TEXTOUT))
{
TRACE_ERR(("DrvEnableSurface: UNable to associate surface"));
DrvDisableSurface((DHPDEV)pPDev->hpdev);
EngDeleteSurface(pPDev->hsurf);
return(NULL);
}
return((HSURF)pPDev->hsurf);
And at the drawing functions (sample DrvTextOut) :
// Punt call to GDI if no special rendering can be done
pso->iType = STYPE_BITMAP;
if (EngTextOut(pso, pstro, pfo, pco, prclExtra, prclOpaque, pboFore,
pboOpaque,
pptlBrushOrg, mix ) == DDI_ERROR)
{
return DDI_ERROR;
}
But when I punt to the GDI the Bitmap returned has its bits all 0, meaning
no drawing is done and I cannot understand why. Could any one help or maybe
hint me in whats missing in my code.
Thanks alot
