WinDbg: SXS.DLL makes debugging impossible

I'm currently trying to debug my driver via serial connection. But there are tons of messages where SXS.DLL reads some data and dumps their contents to the debugger. Even the test machine is scarcely useable while this messages are sent to debugger.
Someone suggested to add "nt!Kd_SXS_Mask" to the registry and set it to zero (?). However, which regisry - on test system or the developement system?
Does anyone know how to get rid of that?
Thanks in before,
Willi K.

First of all thanks for your quick answer. Sorry for my late reply, I was involved in other things for a few days.
It seems I need more detailled instructions on how to get rid of this "SXS terror". I did following:
Created the key "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contrl\Session Manager\Debug Print Filter"
In this key Added a REG_DWORD Value "nt!Kd_SXS_Mask"
Tried with 0x00000000 and 0xFFFFFFFF
This did not the trick - I get tons of messages like this (empty lines where removed), it takes a minutes until the messages stop (for a while, at least):
SXS.DLL: Probing for manifest: C:\Windows\System32\en\Microsoft.Windows.Common-Co

  • Exporting PDF document to Excel.  When I export a PDF document to Excel containing lists of  people the Excel page shows all the names on  one line several inches deep instead of on separate lines which makes editing impossible.  What am I doing wrong?

    Murray is right. Padding (and margins) is added to the width. However, when using percentages, you should never use figures that add up to exactly 100%.
    Browsers need to convert the percentages to pixels. Because pixels must be whole numbers, some percentages are rounded up, which results in the final element dropping down below its neighbours. With percentages, it's much safer to use values that add up to 98% (99% often works, but 98% is safer).

    Recently, there has been a bug on my Mac OS X Lion, while trashing an iphoto the errant pic does not go to trash bin, but simply disappears! Which makes it impossible to change my mind. The trash remains empty, yet the pic is gone, and I never even emptied the trash (because it never made it to the trash)! How to recover the album I just accidently made disappear in this way?

    Sorry - there have been no updates to that system for a long time
    Try to backup your iPhoto library and lanch iPhoto while holding the option and cannoned keys down - repair permissions and if needed rebuild the database

  • When itouch is moved, it makes a jingle noise and moves to a random song. Makes it impossible to use during exercize. Anything I can do?

    While listening to music on itouch, if it is moved other than very gently, it makes a ringing - jingle noise and goes to a random song. This makes it impossible to use during any kind of exercize. I tried restoring my itouch, and am having the same problem. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks!

    Go to Settings>Music and turn off 'Shake to Shuffle'.

    Hi anniehillairet,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.

    Using your Apple ID for Apple services
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
    I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?

    First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
    Mac:  iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
    PC:  iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
    Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

  • Shuddering Playback Makes Editing Impossible

    I researched the above topic and found good suggestions in a May 31, 2007, post to remedy it. I restarted computer, changed preferences, etc.
    I am running iMovie HD 6.0.3 on an iMac G5, OSX 10.4.11 with 21 GB available on HD.
    I have a 5 minute project using mostly stills and a little video (no audio with video). In the first audio track there is a narration for the whole project. In the second audio track there is a little music at the opening and closing only. I do believe the problem showed up with the addition of the music track.
    Hope someone can suggestion something. I panicked yesterday at this horrible jerkiness and exported it as High Quality QT movie. That plays fine. But when we tried to adjust the volume and add a title to the original project today, the playback is so jerky it makes it impossible to do so. Adjusting the volume is important.
    Since this project is being done partly to show how easy iMovie is to use and the organization I work for is considering purchasing a Mac, iMovie, iDVD etc this is more than a little embarrassing. I used iMovie back in 2003 and never saw such behavior.
    Would appreciate any thoughts about it. I'm stumped.

    "..whether you have done any work with iMovie HD 6 and, if so, is this "instability" I'm encountering with '06 peculiar to my project or the '06 version?..
    I've just finished an 80th birthday tribute to my cousin, using iMHD6, and have used it extensively since it first came out (..and previous versions, see small print below..) and the only real "instability" I remember finding in '06 is that if I slow down a clip, then trim it, the clip which then follows it is its original, un-slowed-down version!
    Otherwise, no particular problems. I haven't had any music or audio problems ..and I make extensive audio mixes in iMovie (..which is why I stick with iMHD6 for fiddling with the audio..) ..but it's been extensively reported that if you have many individual audio clips crowding the two audio tracks, then you'll probably reach a point where everything (audio and video) starts stuttering.
    (..This was isolated by Karl Petersen of these Discussions, who's not too well at the moment, but has given sterling service to everyone over many years here!..)
    "..Does it occur in '08?.." ..Not that I've noticed. But audio placement in '08 is an entirely different business, and one can't edit audio - or I can't! - so precisely in '08. I do lots of frame-accurate audio trimming (..in '06..) but there just isn't that kind of precision available in '08. But for a "quick'n'dirty" rapid assembly I find '08 far faster to use than '06.
    Maybe look at the source of your audio. Even though you say it's an .aiff file, how did you come by it? Was it taken from a CD or from an MP3? ..Has it been extracted by some weird means from some other source, and fed into QuickTime, or another program, and then re-saved as an .aiff? Was it recorded/turned into an .aiff at a peculiar non-standard sampling rate, instead of the (preferred) 48kHz/16-bit rate of DV video which iMovie likes?
    You don't say which model of iMac you're using, but almost any iMac should be OK for standard-definition DV video in iMHD6. So I doubt that it's the hardware, nor the iMovie software. It may be some peculiar provenance of your music..

  • All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area.  I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  Help!

    All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area. It makes it look as though all of my photos are the exact same! I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  How can I return it so that I see the photo itself in the preview area? Thank you!

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take three or four goes.

  • Insane error message makes browsing impossible

    I am a habitual visitor at a gaming website (http://www.worldofwar.net/) for World of Warcraft users. Lately I'm getting an error message which makes browsing this site impossible. A big message comes on the screen: WARNING THIS SITE MAY HARM YOUR COMPUTER. Now I know that the site is very popular and well-managed and any malware that might creep on to it is dealt with immediately. I know the administrators have very high standards in what they allow on the site.
    Now in order to make that error message go away I have to click "Ignore Warning" and then I get ANOTHER error box and have to click "Continue." Only then do I get to where I"m going. This happens EVERY TIME I click a link in the site's forum pages and every time I go back a page. It says this a system set up by Google and if you click some of the Google links you'll find that the site hasn't been found to be infected FOR MONTHS. This system is out of control. How is it that Google can take over my browser and make visiting a site impossible? What right do they have to do that? I have NEVER encountered this kind of interference and I have been to some pretty sleazy sites in my time.
    Is there a Safari setting that will turn off this insane error message? To what extent is Safari responsible for this? Would it do any good to complain to Google? Even if there was malware on a site, my Mac probably wouldn't be affected. How can Safari permit such a takeover by another company?

    I hope in the next version of Safari to see an "accepted site" setting which overrides the warning mechanism for specific web sites.

  • "Severe database error" makes it impossible to sign into Story desktop application. How can I fix?

    When I open the Adobe Story desktop application and sign in, I immediately receive the following message:
    "ERROR:
    Sorry, your Story Free subscription does not allow access to the application in online mode. You can work in the offline mode to retrieve your files."
    I want to work in offline mode, so I click "Work Offline."
    Immediately after I click this, I got another error message:
    "OFFLINE DATABASE ERROR - ADOBE STORY
    Adobe Story has encountered a severe database error and will not be able to retrieve some of your data from your last session. You can recover rest [sic] of your data by either restoring your account to the last backup date or by synchronizing it with your online account."
    I'm then given two options:
    Restore to the last backup date [GRAYED OUT, because I never backed up]
    Sync with my online account( Sign in required )
    I choose the only option I can, then click "Continue."
    This immediately cycles me back to the opening screen, "Your next great story starts here," with the options "Learn more" or "Sign in."
    Every time I click "Sign in," Adobe Story repeats all the steps listed above, making it impossible for me to actually use the program, UNLESS of course I upgrade to Adobe Story Plus, which I don't intend to do.
    Is there any way my account can be fixed to allow me to use the Story desktop application without all these error messages? (I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling already.)
    I just started using Story, so I have no earlier projects to retrieve. Story can wipe my account clean if necessary, it doesn't matter.
    However, I've run into so many problems just trying to *start* using Story that I'm really worried about this program's reliability, especially for the middle of a production. Hopefully after further testing I won't run into so many problems.
