Processus , detect if exists
|
| |
Hello, I need to intercept an event of signal exit of a Windows process since handle processid, or whether the process is still active according to the variable handle returned by the PsGetCurrentProcessID. Why: I developed a driver disk mapping on a user-mode process and when I left the process in task manager (mstask.exe), my driver detects if the... more »

PE sections limit
|
| |
Hello Can someone please explain to me the legal section headers count limit that a PE file can have and still run? Visual Studio 2008 linker says that 96 is the limit and after that the file may not run. On Win 7 x64 (RC1) it looks like I could compile and run a program with 10003 sections. C:\Temp\run>cl32 sects.cpp user32.lib... more »

It's just started popping up in the past few weeks and wonder if there may be some root kit on those machines (i don't have access to) or... more »

OpenProcess() question
|
| |
I have an application that uses CreateProcess to start several child processes. I want my main program to periodically check to see if they are still running.

GetSystemDirectory
|
| |
I know this is not a kernel question, but not too many groups left where people are up on winapis. I am using the function GetSystemDirectory, however in certain circumstances in Windows XP Pro it is returning a relative path, not the full path to the system directory! E.g., sometimes the code below returns "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32" as it should... more »

ETW programming forum
|
| |
Anyone know which newsgroup is the best for finding people using the ETW APIs in applications. I assume this one because the only one for ETW on msft.com is for end users. Thoughts?
