I have an application that sometimes causes a BSOD on a Win XP machine. Trying to find out more, I loaded up the resulting *.dmp file (from C:\Windows\Minidump), but get this message when in much of the readout when doing so: ********************************************************************* * Symbols can not be loaded because symbol path is not initialized. * * * * The Symbol Path can be set by: * * using the _NT_SYMBOL_PATH environment variable. * * using the -y <symbol_path> argument when starting the debugger. * * using .sympath and .sympath+ * ******************************************

I have a problem very similar to the one described here: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/30579866/prevent-vista-from-markin.aspx That thread suggests that Task Manager sends WM_NULL to the process and expects the process to consume this message within timeout limit (5 seconds?). When I google for "WM_NULL hung" there are many references to the same technique. However I don't see any WM_NULL messages in the queue of my application while it works on a lengthy operation - I have a secondary thread that switches to the main thread every 0.5 sec and calls PeekMessage() looking for WM

I'm a huge fan of bzr and I'm glad they're working on tortoise for it, but currently it's WAY too slow to be useful. The icons are almost always incorrect and when I load a directory in explorer with a lot of branches it locks up my entire system for anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes. I look forward to trying it again in the future, but for now I'd like to disable it. Unfortunately I don't see it in add/remove programs and I can't find a way to disable it in the bazaar config directory. When I right click the icon in the task panel (by the clock) and choose "Exit Program" it just restarts

I'm writing a script that periodically checks that certain services are running on remote workstations. I'm having a devil of a time getting an "SC \workst1 query" command working from one test machine to another. Both machines are running XP pro SP3. Neither is part of a domain. Both are in the same workgroup, and the administrator accounts have the same passwords. I keep getting the "[SC] OpenSCManager FAILED 5: Access is denied" message, from either workstation to the other. I have tried using elevated privileges on both. Windows firewall software is turned off. There are no messages are

I want to be able to select columnar blocks using only the keyboard when I use GVim on Windows, but I do not seem to be able to do so when using gvim (7.2) on Windows XP. Edit: For convenience, it is preferable to make the selection with arrow keys as is commonly done in other versions of vi/vim. In a terminal, when using vim, to define a block, one may select columnar blocks by pressing Ctrl-V and by conveniently moving the cursor with the arrow keys . When using GVim on mswin, Ctrl-V is mapped to a paste operation. Every reference found on this topic mentions that on mswin, Ctrl-Q is set to

I have a program that just popped up an AV. Until now the Eureka Log could find the source code line that generated the error but now it displays only this: Access violation at address 7E452E4E in module 'USER32.dll'. Read of address 00000015.
