S W A D do not work. How to make it work?

    Yes, thanks (NOT) to monopoly$ oft, most default games to the XBOX controllers these days.

    -There were several updates of XInput , who fixes for controllers that were compatible with

    XBOX several years ago.

    I do not exactly remember, but they are either through Windows updates 'important' updates, or

    the DirectX Web Installer, updater DX-

    Download DirectX end-user Runtime Web Installer from the official Microsoft Download Center

    -The game should not have to recognize the controller. If the profiling software that comes

    That's all good it will emulate a keyboard.

    If the profiling software that comes with your controller cannot create a profile for the game

    which allows the stick or d - pad to function as the WSAD keys, you will need to ask at the support

    site for the mfg of the controller.

    Or, if you're lucky, here, someone can have experience with this brand controller.

    I had no problem in WSAD orders for games with my Logitech "dual action".

    the game controller software.

    I think that the new Logitech controllers, for example. - F310, identify the buttons and sticks of the same

    as an XBOX controller and can play most of the games which by default XBOX without using third-party software.

  • How to run a script as administrator and copy some setting of the connected user's profile?

    I want to copy some profile setting to the connected on folder (% userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word) user profile password when they connect. Because the standard user accounts do not have the right admin to copy files to the folder, so I use schedule a task to run the .cmd as local administrator every time that a user login. But, when I use the % username % setting to try copying the file to the logged on user profile, the setting of % username % is interpreted as the name of the local administrator because the scheduled task is run as administrator. Therefore, the file is exemplary in the local Administrator profile. All solutions? Thank you

    I log on as a user account standard and do a right-click the .cmd and run as admin. The script interpreter .cmd parameter of % username % as the admin because I ran as administrator.

    -> Not altogether. There are two cases:

    • You are connected under an administrator account. When you right click on cmd.exe, then you get a 'high' console session that is still running under the name of your current account.
    • You are connected under a regular account. When you right click on cmd.exe and then you get a prompt and admin account name and its password. The new session is running under admin account.

    Is there a way to set the parameter to % username % as long as the logged on user, when you run the .cmd as an administrator.

    -> No - see above. Execution of a session high under a regular user account would defy the principle of administrator accounts.

    Either of these two options, I gave you in my previous answer might work, with a bit of scripting. A much simpler method would be to restore the default permissions to the %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word folder. Normally full, users have access to it. This is my preferred option. With the help of a scheduled task that is running under an administrator account is a kludge.

  • How to enumerate, and select in C++ in the list of formats PCM published by a recording device in Windows 7?

    I used the following to open a wave in the device (USB codec) under XP:

    waveInOpen ((HWAVEIN*) & hWaveIn, idWaveIn, (LPWAVEFORMATEX) & wfx, MainDlg (DWORD)-> handle, 0, CALLBACK_WINDOW);

    How could I do this in Windows 7?  The device is open with its default and no format approaches I tried to work.  Default format is listed in the applet sound like 1-channel, 16-bit, 44100 Hz (CD quality). What I need is listed as 2-channel, 16-bit, 32000 Hz (quality FM Radio).

    Method 1:
    the value input to the PCM format
    PropVariantInit(&varConfigBuf);
    HR = pProps-> GetValue (PKEY_AudioEngine_DeviceFormat & varConfigBuf);
    If ((hr == S_OK) & (varConfigBuf.vt == VT_BLOB))
    {
    if(varConfigBuf.blob.cbSize>0)
    {
    WAVEFORMATEX * pWaveFormatExBlob = (WAVEFORMATEX *) (varConfigBuf.blob.pBlobData);
    If (pWaveFormatExBlob-> nChannels! = wfx.nChannels |)
    pWaveFormatExBlob-> nSamplesPerSec! = wfx.nSamplesPerSec)
    {
    WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE * pWaveFormatExtensibleBlob =(WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE*) pWaveFormatExBlob;

    pWaveFormatExBlob-> wFormatTag = WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE;
    pWaveFormatExBlob-> nChannels = wfx.nChannels;
    pWaveFormatExBlob-> nSamplesPerSec = wfx.nSamplesPerSec;
    pWaveFormatExBlob-> wBitsPerSample = wfx.wBitsPerSample;
    pWaveFormatExBlob-> which nBlockAlign = wfx.nBlockAlign;//pWaveFormatExBlob-> nChannels * pWaveFormatExBlob-> wBitsPerSample/8;
    pWaveFormatExBlob-> wfx.nAvgBytesPerSec;//pWaveFormatExBlob-> nSamplesPerSec = nAvgBytesPerSec * pWaveFormatExBlob-> which nBlockAlign;
    pWaveFormatExtensibleBlob-> Samples.wValidBitsPerSample = pWaveFormatExBlob-> wBitsPerSample;
    pWaveFormatExtensibleBlob-> dwChannelMask = 3;
    GUID sf = (GUID) pWaveFormatExtensibleBlob-> sous-format;
    pWaveFormatExtensibleBlob-> sous-format = KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_PCM;

    HR = pProps-> SetValue (PKEY_AudioEngine_DeviceFormat, varConfigBuf);
    if(hr == S_OK)
    {
    HR = pProps-> Commit();
    }
    on the other
    {
    ShowMessage (AudioError (hr));
    }
    }

    This method adds a new entry (2 channels, 16-bit, 32000 Hz) to the list of formats under the Advanced tab, but the camera is still recording mono.

    Method 2:
    IAudioClient * pAudioInterface = NULL;
    HR = pEndpoint-> Activate (__uuidof (IAudioClient), CLSCTX_ALL,(void**) & pAudioInterface);

    WAVEFORMATEX * pDeviceFormat;
    HR = pAudioInterface-> () IsFormatSupported
    AUDCLNT_SHAREMODE_EXCLUSIVE,
    AUDCLNT_SHAREMODE_SHARED,
    & wfx,
    & pDeviceFormat
    );
    CoTaskMemFree (pDeviceFormat);

    HR = pAudioInterface-> Initialize (AUDCLNT_SHAREMODE_EXCLUSIVE, 0, 5000000, 0, & wfx, NULL);
    SAFE_RELEASE (pAudioInterface)

    Initialize() returns 0, but no changes to the format of the device.

    Is it possible to enumerate the list of formats provided by the sound applet, and then select one of the people I know is supported by the device?  It's probably pretty clear from the above, but in case not, I am scratching around the dark here and any help is appreciated (even with disparaging remarks included!).

    Thank you
