• DWM. Tips of memory EXE, resulting in aero being disabled, when you use a window on a driving instructor by a secondary graphics card

  (I was going to the origin of this post in response to this topic, but it seems to be dead and, possibly, a different question.)  ( This thread is probably the same problem and has some information, but is old and sidetracked.)

  I used to run two s AMD Radeon 6970 in CrossfireX, 3 driving instructors from the main videocard, without any problem.  I decided to take two cards off CrossfireX and run them independently, with two monitors driven by the second video card.  Now, whenever a window on a monitor driven by the second video card does a lot of update - like scrolling a page of MS Answers in IE or FireFox - I see not the use of the memory of dwm.exe rocket up to approximately 2 GB (it takes about 3 seconds) before Windows turns off Aero and returns to the Windows 7 Basic color palette.  This does not repro on the instructor by the first video card (memory dwm.exe use remains stable, Aero is not disabled).  I've been hunting the internet for everything and time now looking for an answer, nothing has worked, but I found a lot of posts on the same problem.

  Other information that might be useful, based on what I saw:

  • All my drivers are up to date
  • All BIOS are up-to-date
  • DWM.exe is the only process that stings
  • I can re-enable Aero by him switch back to an Aero theme, and the problem with reproducing again
  • Scrolling or watch that video in IE or FireFox YouTube reproduces the problem constantly, but I can repro by continually moving a FireFox window, so it seems linked purely how drawing is done, the speed and how permanently.  I have same repro when scrolling in this text of entry for this message box.
  • If I stop the scroll/movement/whatever before DWM. EXE hits 2 GB, the drops of memory use down to normal (around 90 MB).
  • I Live Mesh, but I killed it and the repros still problem.  I also tried to disable the Windows Live display driver, but it did not help.
  • I tried to delete the DirectX under HKLM\Software\Microsoft key, which did not help.
  • Nothing is written to the system event log when this happens

  To summarize:
  DWM.exe uncontrolled spike memory when a large number of drawing happens on a monitor driven by a secondary graphics card, with resulting Aero is disabled.

  System Specs:
  OS: Windows 7 SP1 Professional, completely up-to-date (clean install - not upgraded to Vista)
  Processor: Intel core i7 2600 K 3.4 GHz (stock speed)
  Memory: 16 GB DDR3 1866 MHz
  Motherboard: Gigabyte P67a-ud7-b3
  Video: 2 x AMD Radeon 6970 2 GB (only the repros when you don't the crossfirex) (both cards must be running at the speed 8 x PCI-E in this configuration on this mobo, have not verified)
  Monitors: 3 x HP ZR24w @ 1920 x 1200 60 Hz color 32 bit depth (horizontal, Center monitor is primary & driven by the first video card, others by second video card)
  Hard drives: Crucial realSSD C300 256 GB, Western Digital WD5000AAKS SATA2 500 GB SATA3

  More information available on request.

  If anyone knows a workaround for this problem solution please let me know.  I'll post any solution that I ended up going with.

  Thank you!

• Vista Shrink volume resulted in 75 lack space volume and 0 GB unallocated space. No possibility of partition. Lost space.

  I wanted to create a partition on a 150 GB internal hard drive. It is NOT the boot drive, it's the drive D. I got more than half the volume free and retractable Vista specific volume I could use up to 90 GB. I selected 75GB for the shrink.  After the SHRINK, it resulted in 75 lack volume and space 0 GB unallocated space for the partition. Volume shrinkage has returned an error and did not provide additional instructions. Unfortunately, I don't have the error message as I deleted it by mistake. It was a small error message in Shrink.

  VISTA 32-bit, updates to update... I just downloaded EASEUS Partition Master and it shows I have 150 GB of total space, unused and 0 free 90 not allocated. Looks like the problem doesn't show in the view "Properties..." (75 GB of total space, 15 GB free unused).  I don't know what the file system will be used to allocate new space. I think I'll try to copy a large file and see which uses the file system...

  When I look at the following:
  Computer management, storage,... disk management it says I have: Simple, Basic, disk 1, disk Local (d) 150 GB, NTFS, healthy (Primary Partition). (NO unallocated space appears on this menu)

  When I look at the properties of the D: drive:
  Local disk (d :)) 75 GB of capacity.

  I just lost 75 GB! Help...

  I don't know what happened. Shrink did not partition instructions... The space is lost forever?

  When you shrink a volume you create unallocated space which should appear in computer management - I don't know why it is not appear on your system.

  Maybe you can try to expand the volume to find the size of the original score (although it will wipe the data that is on the drive): http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/resize-a-partition-for-free-in-windows-vista/. (but I doubt it will work because there is no contiguous unallocated space appear).

  Here is another article on how to shrink and expland a partition under Vista.  Perhaps by reading the instructions for the narrowing, you will notice something did you not (or has done, but shouldn't have).  Otherwise, extend the partition could reclaim your lost space.  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial133.html.  Yet once again, because there is no unallocated space appear, I don't know if it will work (in fact, I don't think it will be).

  My best suggestion is to temporarily store the data on the disk also narrowed and then format the drive.  This should bring back to his full 150 GB and then you can try it again narrows (if you are still interested in this).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

• Problems with windows update, run sfc/scannow and boot into safe mode. (Vista Home Premium)

  Hi all

  Please bear with me here that I try to explain all the questions I have with my computer right now. I'll try to explain everything that self-organization as possible, but if you need more information or file papers to provide a solution more precise, do it me know.

  To start, I use a HP Pavilion dv6000 series (dv6748us to be exact) with Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) installed. (Service pack 2). About 6 months ago I got this laptop from what I believe was the conflicker virus (kept forwarding pages, arrested updates and antivirus programs, etc.) and I managed to get Windows Update works again. My help and Support did not work well, it only worked in Mode without failure, so I did some research and tried a bunch of suggested corrections (update the registry, etc.) and got it work yet once again. I don't know if one of the tools that I used all by setting the Help & Support could have caused problems that I now (as I literally tried everything under the Sun until I got to work), but my Windows Update does not work properly again.

  A few weeks ago, I installed some updates and restarted the computer, but updates did not finish install on reboot. He said the usual "Configuring Updates, do not turn off your computer", but never showed percentage complete or whatever it is. It restarted, and when I open Windows Update, he said the last time I checked the updates has never been (obviously not true), and when I tried to check the updates, it jumped right to the message telling me I have to restart my computer to complete the installation of updates. She continues to do everytime I open Windows Update. From time to time, I try to restart it, just to see if it will work, and he never does.

  I spent hours trying all the solutions I could find in Google. I tried to run system update readiness tool, which seemed to run correctly (but does not solve the problem). I then tried the difficulty it for Windows Update, and it does not solve the problem. (It might be important for me to mention that I also have problems with the difficulty It Center itself, too. Individual tools like that for Windows Update is running, but the difficulty It Center program keeps giving me the error message that "a problem is preventing the troubleshooting tool to start.") I also tried to rename the pending.xml file, and then later I deleted it, after reading in another forum that you rename the file could cause system instabillity or something like that.

  Unfortunately, I can't use system restore to solve all my problems, because all my previous restore points have disappeared (I don't know if the virus wiped out them, or if the computer removed on its own) but restore points only I checked are those that have been created recently, during the time I had these problems.

  I tried running sfc/scannow nothing helped, as he continues to tell me that there is a pending repair, but repair pending never ends. I tried to use the command of /revertpendingactions of dism.exe/image:C\/cleanup-image in the command prompt of recovery center to stop it pending repairs, and that has not worked because it claims that dism.exe that does not exist / is not a valid command. No matter what I try, I can't have this pending repair or my updates to complete pending.

  I tried to boot mode safe several times as well and he hung up on crcdisk.sys when starting every time.

  Being that I can't use sfc/scannow, System Restore, or get into Safe Mode, I'm really lost as to what I should do next. I'm honestly not sure if the problems are related, but I just thought it would make sense to list them all in one place.

  Please note that I don't want to re - install Windows Vista, or don't I think I need, because the computer works very well for most. (I use it for typing this right now). I had much rather bring all the features on mine, which I believe can be achieved with the help of the right person.

  If someone could provide me with suggestions/solutions, it would be greatly appreciated! Certainly, it would relieve a lot of stress for me!

• Vista suddenly takes an age to load and then keeps freezing

  Vista has suddenly become unusable. It takes an hour to load up and then keeps freezing. I added no any material or any other software on the computer, this just started happening.

  Dump files

   

  Dump files are files containing the status of the machine when it crashed. We can analyze the file to identify the driver (or program) causing the accident.

   

  Analyze dump files

  If you want to analyze your own dump files. See below to download for analysis.

   

  You need start exploring as an administrator to access the files in C:\windows\Minidump. Explore a right click and choose run as administrator.

  
  Download and install the debugging tools for Windows

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/hardware/hh852363

  Install Windows SDK, but simply choose the debugging tools.

  Create a folder called symbols in C:\

  Start Windbg. Menu file - path to the symbol file and enter

  
  SRV * C:\symbols* http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

   

  Close, and then reopen WinDbg. Menu file - Open Crash Dump

  It will analyze the crashdump. You must close and reopen WinDbg for each analyzed dump file. Because you download symbols from the internet WinDbg seems to be to do nothing. But it's the download. Be patient.

   

  Looking for a driver or a library system that the incident occurred at the end of the list. Find the file, do a right click then Properties - Details tab. If it shows a driver, you will need to update the driver identified. Most of the pilots are in c:\windows\system32\drivers. If it has a file system see if you can get a program to analyze - v.

  Type in the theWinDbg command prompt

   
  ! analyze - v

   

  -v means Verbose and if the accident was created by a program, as opposed to hardware or a driver, it will appear in the middle of the list.

   

  Download them for analysis

   

  Or download files minidump to your Public SkyDrive folder and copy the link in the address bar, and I'm going to do an analysis.

   

  SkyDrive is the download file from Microsoft, Windows Live, at https://skydrive.live.com/site.  Read about it at http://explore.live.com/skydrive.

  If you downloaded one of the Live applications or a web site based Live mail account, you already have access to your Skydrive.

• Satellite Pro U400 VISTA disk management has 6 primary partitions

  Hi all!

  I have a strange effect on my Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro U400 (but it seems not to be specific to this one that I saw the same symptoms elsewhere, at the same time):

  I had the laptop with a 320 GB drive with recovery-(invisible / "Configuration EISA", 1,46 Go) system (C:, ~ 150 GB) and data (E:, ~ 150 GB) volumes. It's the usual structure of Toshiba,

  pre-installed OS was Vista professional.

  As I plan to install Linux in addition, I have done as a result of preparations:

  Recovery disc Vista created 1.).
  2.) C: shrunk to ~ 100 GB using Vista disk management tool.
  3.) E: shrunk to Go ~ 98 using Vista disk management tool.
  It is suggested that 4.) E: directly behind C: using Parted Magic CD.

  Finally I got a 97 GB of free space at the end of the disc, and everything worked well away. Creating an additional on the free area, Vista disk management, resulted in an extended partition created by Vista. This extended partition contained the extra volume as well as the free space remaining behind.

  To prepare for installing Linux, I've finally created three logical Volumes inside the extended partition with Vista disk management tool.
  After that, I had the following structure of the partition on the disk (indicated by the Vista Disk Manager):

  invisible 1.46 GB, primary
  C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
  E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data

  ~ 97 GB extended partition, containing:
  2 GB unformatted (planned for Linux swap)
  20 GB unformatted (planned for Linux root "/")
  21 GB unformatted (planned for Linux "/ home")
  Empty remaining 54 GB space

  More on Vista worked properly!

  Recently, I installed OpenSuse 11.1 using the volumes placed within extended partitions (user-specific configuration). The Installation worked correctly. Logical volumes have been formatted to

  2 GB of swap (swap Linux, / dev/sda5)
  20 GB ext3 (Linux root ' / ' on/dev/sda6)
  21 GB unformatted (Linux "/ home" on/dev/sda6)

  during the installation of Linux. Linux and Vista up and running with their scores. If I look at the hard drive with Linux' partitioning tool, I see three main partitions + range, as expected. The scope contains the Linux partitions + empty disk space.

  HOWEVER:
  ========

  If I look at the hard drive with the Vista disk management tool now, I get the following image:

  invisible 1.46 GB, primary
  C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
  E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data
  2 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
  20 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
  21 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
  Empty remaining 54 GB space

  This means:
  VISTA DISK MANAGMENT ME PRESENT 6 PRIMARY PARTITIONS WITHOUT ANY COMPLAIN
  Although a hard drive on the PC architecture usually only supports maximum 4 primary partitions.

  Issues related to the:

  Have you ever seen a similar behavior?

  Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?

  Or is it a bug in formatting under Linux?

  Is there a solution for this problem?

  At present, the two BONES work very well. However, the disk will be get permanently damaged as soon as I try to create more partitions in the empty space left?

  Sincere greetings and thanks for your comments.

  > Have you ever see similar behavior?
  NO.

  > Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?
  I doubt that it is a bug, I think you forgot something.

  As far as I know you can create 4 partitions on the HARD drive and this is the reason why you have the ability to create an extended partition.
  An extended partition can be divided into several logical drives.

  That is why it s wise to create a primary partition for Windows OS for example and an extended partition, which can decompose the in logical drives (partitions) different.

  However, I put t see a problem if everything works properly

• Qosmio G10 will not work with VISTA

  Hello
  With earlier versions, windows vista run until you install the GFX drivers provided by microsoft.
  After the microsoft drivers (or nvidia), you have a 'blue screen of death '.

  But now, with PRE - RC1, this driver are integrated with vista. The result? you crash after installation of the Poles, you can not even start in vga (safe mode) mode.

  So my $2800 specifications can go in the trash? I hope toshiba will quickly correct this problem before the RTM of vista... It's not bad, I don't know what material support to do, there are many versions of vista, and I don't know why this problem is not solved! Yes, you can say "this is not the final version of vista", ok, but we are on RC1 stage and is not usable at all! I think its time to fix it and don't wait until the last second!

  Thank you and excuse me for my bad English! :)

  Cool, thanks for the info ;)

• Get the DLL string (memory allocated for DLL)

  Hi, I'm aware there are a lot of discussions around this topic, but there are a lot of variations and I've never used before LabVIEW, and I seem to have a hard time at a very basic level, so I hope someone can help me with the below simple specific test case to put me on the right track before I pull my hair remaining.

  I've created a DLL with a single function "GenerateGreeting". When it is called, it allocates enough memory for the string "Hello World!" \0"at the pGreeting of pointer, copy this string to the pointer and sets the GreetingLength parameter to the number of allocated bytes (in the DLL in the end, I want to use, there is a DLL function to free the memory allocated for this way).

  I created a header file to go with the DLL containing the following line.

  extern __declspec(dllimport) int __stdcall GenerateGreeting(char* &pGreeting, int &GreetingLength);
  

  I then imported the LabVIEW file using the import Shared Library Wizard. That created a "generate Greeting.vi' and everything seems somewhat sensitive for me (although this does not mean a lot right now). When I run the vi, the ' GreetingLength on ' display correctly '13', the length of the string, but "pGreeting out" shows only three or four characters (which vary in each race), place of the string that is expected of junk.

  The pGreeting parameter is set to the 'String' type, the string "String pointer C" format, size currently Minimum of 4095. I think the problem is that the DLL wants to allocate memory for pGreeting; the caller is supposed to pass a unallocated pointer and let the DLL allocates memory for the string the right amount, but LabVIEW expected the DLL to write in its buffer préallouée. How to with LabVIEW? Most of the functions in the DLL in the end, I want to use work this way, so I hope that's possible. Or I have to rewrite all my DLL functions to use buffers allocated by the appellant?

  The vi , header and the DLL are atteched, tips appreciated. Edit - cannot attach the dll or the headers.

  Although char * & pGreeting is actually a thing of C++ (no C compiler I know would accept it) and this basically means that the char pointer is passed as a reference. So, technically, it's a double referenced pointer, however nothing in C++ Specifies that reference parameters should be implemented as a pointer at the hardware level. So free to decide to use some other possible MECHANISM that takes the target CPU architecture support a C compiler constructor. However, for the C++ compilers, I know it's really just syntactic sugar and is implemented internally as a pointer.

  LabVIEW has no type of data that allows to configure this directly. You will have to configure it as a whole size pointer passed as a pointer value and then use a call MoveBlock() or the support VI GetValuePtr() to copy the data on the pointer in a string of LabVIEW.

  AND: You need to know how the DLL allocates the pointer so that you can deallocate it correctly after each call to this function. Otherwise you probably create a leak memory, since you say that the first 4 bytes in the returned buffer always change, this feature seems to assign to each run of a new buffer that you want to deallocate correctly. Unless the DLL uses a Windows such as HeapAlloc() API function for this, it should also export a function according to deallocate the buffer. Functions like malloc() and free() from the C runtime cannot always be applied in the same version between the caller and callee, so that calling free() by calling on a buffer that has been allocated with malloc() in the DLL may not work on the same segment of memory and result in undefined behavior.

• Windows Vista Service Pack 2 causes the message "Windows install will not be accessible".

  I am running Windows Vista with all the updates installed but Service Pack 2. I uninstalled Service Pack 2 because it was causing problems with the windows installation service. I was unable to install microsoft office update because the windows installer could not be accessed, and Adobe Acrobat Reader could not be repaired or updated for the same reason.

  With installed Service Pack 2, I traveled all troubleshooting for the windows service install. I have a click with the right button on my computer, manage, service and open the properties of windows install. I have activated the service, but still couldn't install the updates Microsoft office or Adobe Acrobat Reader update/repair. I also tried to configure windows install automatic rather than manual when the computer starts.

  I had the problem "Windows install is not be available" for nearly a year. After trying to do a repair Vista boot without result, I uninstalled all updates. The problem disappeared. I decided to install the updates one by one. After you have installed Service Pack 2, the problem with windows install returned. The Service Pack installs completely and then open my computer properties indicates that Vista runs with Service Pack 2 installed.

  Uninstall Service Pack 2 and blocking automatic updates will not install it was my only solution to the issue of "Windows install is not be accessible". I fear that it may cause a security flaw in my computer, however.

  If someone has encountered this problem, and if so, is there a solution to install Service Pack 2 for my windows service install still works correctly?

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves. Composition of such problems, Geek Squad is also infamous for having failed to download/run the Norton removal tool before installing another AV app or security suite! The 'leftovers' Norton may have caused your post-SP2 installation problem.

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  4. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run it in DEFAULT and modes difficulty then AGGRESSIVE. [1]

  5. restart & test (i.e. display SP2 & install it again). [2]

  TIP: Temporarily disable Sunbelt Vipre Antivirus before installing SP2. If you still encounter problems after installing SP2 again, open a free support by my previous response incident.

• Vista SP2 wants me to install KB947821, but it is already installed

  Hello

  Recently I tried to install vista SP2 without result, he gave me error code "SP1 must be installed", but he was already. To resolve this problem, I used the instillation of vista disc to upgrade my computer to vista, which corrects this problem. I then proceeded to the install SP2 and restarted my computer, resulting in a complete system failure and the inability to restart my computer. I tried to reinstall vista via the instillation CD and it did not work, so I had to delete all partitions including my internal backup and finally it has helped my computer install Vista from the outset.

  Since then, I downloaded almost all the updates as well as on, KB947821 and tried to install SP2. Now, I get this error message when trying to install (after preparation of your computer room):
  "An error system not service pack install. Please download and execution tool the "check IN" http://... "but I already did.

  I tried other things:
  VLite removal: vLite did not exist
  Start in selective mode: same mistake as main

  Please help, I would really have the SP2.

• Vista: The device can not start (error Code 10) for a USB CDC device which works fine in XP

  I have a USB device 2.0 DCC which works very well under all of our Windows XP machines, but not based on Vista.  The device uses the usbser.sys driver and emulation of the virtual Comm Port.

  The text of the listing shows the same information on Xp and Vista, except under vista it shows no open pipes.  Shows Device Manager: device can not start (error Code 10).

  Using Vista I can't connect to the vista of CDC through concentrators or device to any other device wireless hub except for a Dlink Wireless hub, which has a layer of software between the CDC device and the PC.  With Xp, it all works very well on more than one PC, with Vista, there are questions.  I use the INF manufacturer provided for Vista, still no results.

  Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
