Difference between English Xp Kernel and Japanese Xp Kernel ?

What is the difference between English XP Kernel and Japanese Xp kernel
are they same ???
The services(device drivers) running in English XP will they work for
Japanese XP ?

I believe only user interface language is different. Devices which are used
on English XP were installed and used on Japanese XP properly without any
issues.

Error: 1058 means that service cannot be started as it is already disabled.
OR service is enabled but the device with which it want to work is disabled.

Might be you are trying to start a disabled service.

Also, make sure the device is correctly installed.

One more thing, the drivers which I installed or used were not having any
special string characters in them (nothing character specific code). Might
be your driver code has something which is character specific. Try to debug
the code… This might help.

Thanks for ur reply

Well i tried to enable the service from command prompt even then I face the
same problem

I used

sc config servicename start=auto

well i even tried with devcon even then no luck

device is correctly installed …

My device driver has some hard coded string of type UNICODE_STRING,but that
shouldnt be the problem

I even tried to debug it using Windows debugger
I inserted some KdPrint comments in the source
and when I start the service …

It only displays kdprints comments from driverentry and then from
driverunload …
that means it tries to load but fails

well I am still trying out to put breakpoint and debug it as m new to
windows debugger

So, using WinDbg did you step into DriverEntry? Did it get to AddDevice, and if so where did AddDevice fail? There is a plethora of breakpoints that you need to be setting and stepping into to find out why your driver is failing, instead of running here and asking why your driver unloads. HINT: WDF EVT callbacks are good places to set break points.

You may “njoy coding” but obviously you don’t “njoy debugging” … :slight_smile:
