Issues with windows kernel mode debugging in Win8 RTM

Here is the setup:
Host: Win8 x64 RTM, supported Realtek NIC, Visual Studio 2012, WDK8, Latest Coinstallers
Target: Win8 x64 RTM, supported Realtek NIC
Clean install, no firewall, no UAC, in a workgroup
Netgear router with DHCP, CAT 5.
We used the following document:
Configuring a Computer for Driver Deployment, Testing, and Debugging
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh698272%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Automatic provisioning of the target completes without errors, but trying to attach the debugger does not work.  It never connects.
Am I missing something?

I am encountering the same issue debugging a KMDF driver on VS2012.   Both machines are in the same workgroup and both are running WS2012 Data Center Edition.  I tried running a command prompt and various other items on the target, but
it never connects.  I even tried running a VM on the local machine in Hyper-V.   Same issue.
Kernel debugger connection works fine in WinDBG, just never connects in VS2012.
Any updates on this from Microsoft?

  • Windows Kernel Debbuging: Debug over virtual serial port with WDK 8.1

    I'm currently having some issues doing kernel debugging of a Windows 7 x64 target from my Windows 8.1 x64 host machine. I'm running Visual Studio 2013 with WDK 8.1 on my host and have provisioned my target machine running in VMWare.
    Here are my configurations for the target machine. It was configured by reading mostly from here - http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/545835/Kernel-Mode-Debugging-in-a-VM-using-Visual-Studio :
        Windows 7 x64
        Serial port COM2 with VMWare with name \\.\pipe\com2. All proper options in VMWare are checked
        Debug flag for OS enabled through msconfig. Debug port is COM2 running at 115200 baud.
        I ran the test target client "WDK Test Target Setup x64-x64_en-us.exe" on the machine before provisioning the computer
    I was able to provision the computer properly -- it created the WDK Remove User account. However, I'm running into some issues actually debugging. Below are the steps
        Launch the Windows 7 x64 target image in VMWare and wait on the boot menu
        In Visual Studio (host machine), go to Debug -> Attach to process -> Select my computer -> Select process "Kernel" -> Attach
        In VMWare, press enter to boot Windows
        It takes a while, but on my host machine, Visual Studio eventually connects. I can choose to "Break All" and actually use the debugger.
    However, I can't seem to connect to the debugger if I don't do it before booting the kernel. And I can only attach once. For example, I can't let Windows initialize to the desktop and then build my driver and begin debugging. The debugger will always hang on
    "Waiting to reconnect...". The same goes for if I begin debugging on kernel initialization, decide to stop debugging, then try to reconnect or reattach; it will hang on "Waiting to reconnect..." indefinitely as well.

    Follow the directions here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/jj200334%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    You are using user mode debug setup menus, that won't work.

  • Install Captivate 4 on Windows 7 64-bit machine with Windows XP mode?

    Hi,
    I have been searching the web to find out the best way/place in which to load Captivate 4 on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. Seems some people have issues with recording, others don't. I have Windows XP mode on my machine.
    My question is... what's the best way to load Captivate 4 on Windows 7 - should I install to Windows 7 and see how it goes. Or should I install under Windows XP mode?
    Thank you!
    Michele

    Yea it works in XP mode

    Try running Cp4 in WinXp compatibility mode on Win7.  Also make sure
    you're set to Run as Administrator.
    I run Cp4 on Win7 without issues.  But other users report similar problems
    to yourself.  In the end, it may or may not work for you because Adobe has
    never claimed Cp4 was compatible with Vista or Win7 64bit.

  • Itunes issues with Windows having to do with Apple's patent

    I had a thought and am not sure if it's right. I was wondering if myissues with Apple Itunes store on Windows 7 has anything to do with the Patent laws and all with Apple and samsung and all that.

    I had the same issues with Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I installed on a fresh system and still had issues.
    I experienced extreme lag, with pretty much everything, and iTunes freezing once I attempted to change the currently playing song.
    I had a mess with compatibility mode and found out that running it in with Compatibility mode enabled for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and as an administrator fixed it. It works now, however, there is a popup message that comes up on launch telling you to change the compatibility settings, but pressing "OK" makes it go away.
    How?
    Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to: "C:\Program Files\iTunes" (For 32bit) or "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes" (For 64bit), unless you changed it.
    Right-click on "iTunes.exe", select "Properties" from the context menu, and click the "Compatibility" tab.
    Under "Compatibility mode" check off "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the drop down menu.
    Further down under "Privilege level" check off "Run this program as an administrator".
    Click "Apply" and "OK".
    Should fix any issues, I have my default iTunes Media Folder Location within an external hard drive so unplugging all of my USB's wasn't an option.
    Hope I helped!

  • Windows 8.1 Nvidia Windows Kernel Mode Driver Driver stopped responding and recovered?

    I have the newst version of the 15" MBP Retina with the Haswell chip and Nvidia GT 750m.  The problem I started having about 1 week ago is intermittent it seems, but involves the graphics driver when I'm in windows.
    The screen goes flashes to black for about 5 seconds then recovers and the display comes back up.  It just continues to do this every 10-15 seconds and the error messages displayed is "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"  below that it says Display driver Nvidia Windows Kernel Mode Driver Vers.####### stopped responding and has successfully recoverd.
    What's crazy is the problem is not limited to any particular version of the driver!  I used system restore and went back a few weeks just to make sure, thinking it was just a conflict with a new update somewhere.  I have tried to install old versions of the 64-bit Geforce driver and it is irrelevant, the problem keeps cropping back up. I dont' know what to do, and can't even function in the Windows side hardly at all for very long.
    Please help
    Thanks
    Robert

    Hi Robert, 
    I dont know if this will help you, but yesterday when I logged into Win 8.1 on the same rMBP as you I got an update notice for a new driver for the NVIDIA graphics card.  
    This is the driver that I got the notice for. http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/73780/en-us
    You may want to download this and try installing it. 
    Good Luck

  • Where is the forum for Windows Update issues with Windows 10 TP 9926

    Trying to find a fix to the Windows Update issue with Windows 10 TP 9926 build and can't find the correct forum to post this question?
    This will impact receiving the new build upgrades and will impact test strategy for the new supported OS in our desktop application.

    Compatibility issue with windows XP and windows 8.1 for adobe photoshop elements 4.0?comcom

    You are going to have to contact Adobe on this one. We are other users.
    Sounds like it's not even an Apple question? Not sure.
    But the Adobe program changed, nothing changed in iTunes, right?

  • Major Issues with Windows XP and Sound Blaster Audig

    As mentioned in the post title, I'm using a Sound Blaster Audigy 4 card (recently purchased) and am having issues with Windows XP apparently because of it. When the card is physically installed, but the drivers are not, there are no problems. However, when the drivers are installed, Windows XP's "explorer.exe" crashes on boot, locking up the start menu and any other open windows. Now, I can manually end the explorer.exe application and then reboot it, and things will work... however, I cannot imagine that that is the intended functionality of this card. Additionally, I suspect the card in the failure of a game (Eve Online) but I would assume the issues are related. I've already narrowed the issue down to the Sound Blaster drivers. I've tried booting with the SB drivers but without the video card drivers, and the problem recurred. Every time I boot with the SB drivers installed, it fails. Without them, things seem to run normally. If it helps, I'm using an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 processor, with GB of DDR800 RAM. I've installed Windows Service Pack 2 and all the other updates. The video card is a Geforce 7950 GT, with the latest NVidia Forceware (93.7) drivers. I've had this problem with both the Audigy drivers on the CD that came with the card and the newest ones downloaded from this website. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, which includes onboard sound hardware, but I have disabled it at the BIOS level. I can provide dxdiag information or anything like that if necessary. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions, or have you encountered a similar problem?Message Edited by DerekKatz on 2-04-200603:2 AM

    Thanks for the helpful reply Dan
    I ran the file, CTZAPXX.exe, like suggested, and it ran without a problem. It installed the files and even required me to reboot my computer!!
    However, after a computer restart, I am still in the same boat. Codecs are installed, but the location of the device is "unknown". In Device manager, there are no unknown devices; it shows the codecs in the sound tab, but no actual hardware; as if my sound card does not exist.
    I use my computer for music, and my buddy needs me tomorrow night to play some music stored on my computer. I really do appreciate the help I am offered. I do not mean to sound impatient, but I really need this device fixed, or I will have to have him buy me a sound card....

  • Weird issue with Windows Server 2008 R2 Print Server

    I have an issue with Windows 2008 R2 (VMWare Hosted) running Windows Print Server. 
    Prior to a small network change, the print server was working well, hosting about 80 different networked printers from various vendors. 
    We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers). The DNS servers never quite worked right and broke AD authentication to different servers, and was just a mess.
    After rolling back we are not able to keep the printers online. If we ping them from the print server, the printer(s) never wake up, when a print job is submitted. If we ping them from one of the access switches, they work fine (until they fall back asleep),
    to prevent this, if we start a ping on the server AFTER waking them up from the Switch Ping, they stay online and no problems. 
    If we stop the ping, they fall back asleep at some point, and again, won't wake up without intervention/switch side ping. 
    Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips on how I could possibly resolve it? 
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    According to your description, the issue seems to be that the printers can't keep online. Sounds like a power managerment issue. Why these printers fall into sleep? Have you consulted this issue with the manufacturer of these printers? Do these printers
    fall into sleep if them lose the contact with printer server? Have you tried to reset the printers?
    >>We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers).
    DNS client will cache the recently queried records. If the DNS server has replied with a wrong records, communication issues will occur. To clear the DNS cache on a Windows device, please run the command below:
    ipconfig /flushdns

But, after running registry and malware scan, it's now almost settled . But, my Broadband modem randomly stops working , and Windows Action Centre points it out as "USB Modem Qualcomm Mobile Broadband Gobi2000 is not competible with current version of Windows".

  • URL issue with Windows 7 Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW PI 7.

    Hello SAP community,
    I am facing a strange issue with Windows 7 - Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW java services (I hope I am in the correct discussion) ...
    When I try to open URL http://sapserver.hosters-name:port it is working so far with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.
    But when I click than on NWA (example), I am getting "http 500 server error".
    I don't have the issue, when I start-up a VMware Workstation with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8.
    But now the strange part: In our network DNS (Domain Name Service), we can also open the URL by http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
    Than it is working without problems with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer.
    I would agree to state the comment - it is just a Windows 7/Internet Explorer 11 issue, if it wouldn't work for both URLs (http://sapserver.hosters-name:port = problem URL; http://sapserver.our-dsn:port = working).
    We are using a SAP NW PI 7.x system. Some URLs for PI are using http://sapserver.hosters-name:port/java service.
    Do you have any hints what is cause the issue - I suspect some with Internet Explorer and Firefox (because with Google Chrome at least the URL for NWA is opened, beside the issue, Google Chrome can't display NWA content)?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards
    Carlos

    Hi all,
    I think I found the solution.
    The reason seems to be, the domain name for http://sapserver.our-dns:port, "our-dns" was already added to the compatibility view settings of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    That seemed to be the reason, why it was working with http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
    When I now added for http://sapserver.hosters-name:port the domain "hosters-name" to the compatibility view settings it is now working.
    Internet Explorer Options => Settings for compatibility view => Add domain
    Best regards
    Carlos
