What kind of sound card is it? There may be updated drivers available from the manufacturer that aren't available through Windows Update. I just updated my laptop's graphics and audio drivers using an updater provided with the system when I bought it (the notices are non-intrusive, a simple notification in the lower right hand corner that vanishes after a few seconds.)
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

It's an old SoundBlaster X-Fi.
Just noticed they have FINALLY made a Win10 driver. I'll see if it works with Sonar.

Well, did it work?

Yes...but I changed over to using sfx in Sonar, rather than loading the SoundFonts into the card itself.

I think that if you uninstall a driver, it is essentially completly removed including information about being disabled and thus it would get reinstalled next time if the driver still exist (which is probably often the case).
So to prevent it from being reinstalled, you have to leave it disabled (and not uninstall it).

Remove the files that are associated with the driver package from the driver store and Delete the binary files of the driver package.

You can install a 'null inf' file on the device. It ties up the vid/pid to no service which makes the PnP system think it is installed.

Consider the following two programs. One is the console application with this code:
int main()
{
char *p = new char[100];
return 0;
}
I run this program in Debug configuration and break on return 0 line. I the Watch window I see p variable value. The second program:
HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess( PROCESS_VM_READ, FALSE ,
processId );
if ( hProcess == NULL ) return;
char p[100];
if (!ReadProcessMemory(hProcess,
address, p, 100,
&NumberOfBytesRead))
{
}
ReadProcessMemory is successful both in 32 and 64 bit (both program are compiled in Win32 or x64 configuration). Environment: Windows 7 64 bit, Visual Studio 2010. It also works in previous Windows versions.
Now I try the same in Windows 10 64 bit. Both programs in 32 bit - OK. 64 bit: ReadProcessMemory returns FALSE with last error 299: Only part of a ReadProcessMemory request was completed.
I tried:
1. To replace PROCESS_VM_READ with PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS
2. To run the second program as administrator
3. To use different Visual Studio versions (2010, 2015).
Still doesn't help. ReadProcessMemory fails in Windows 10 for 64 bit processes.
Edit: I tried to write this code from scratch, and it is working. So, the problem is somewhere in the original project, I don't know the solution yet, but API is working.

Thanks, the post fixed. Real program contains the buffer parameter, of course.

Then use copy and paste, so we can see exactly what your code is doing.

Thanks, this really helps.

What data type is the address variable?
What does the NumberOfBytesRead show after the call?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Thank you for the help, this code is working when rewritten from scratch, so the problem is somewhere else in the original project.

address,
Should that not be the contents of p, i.e. whatever variable p is pointing to?

I don't know yet, it is very old and messy code. Maybe I need to rewrite it from scratch and forget about this junk...

Does anyone know if there are any issues installing/running VB5 on Windows 10? Every time I try and Google this I only find articles relating to VB6.
I have an old legacy program in VB5 I need to maintain (until I finally get round to rewriting it in .NET... or, should I say, the client finally decides to pay me to...)

VB6 on Win10 is not even a supported scenario. Your software may or may not work, but there's no guarantee for tomorrow.
Use a Virtual Machine if you need to "update" something. Since you have a VB5 license, I'd expect that you'd also have an OS that supported the IDE at the time.

Well at the moment I've got the VB5 IDE running fine on Windows 7 on my laptop... am considering the Windows 10 upgrade on that, but don't want to lose VB5 in the process.

This is a highly unusual scenario. I'd suggest setting W10 on a VM and then installing VB5 on top there. That way, you can test to see whether or not the configuration will work together.

Yes, good idea - but I can't figure out how to get hold of the required product key if doing a clean install onto a VM...
|

Sorry if this si impertinent, to ask a follow-up question like this, but I wonder if you mght know this:
The difficulty with installing W10 in a VM is that it won't recognise it as a free upgrade from my W7, so will ask for a product key - which I don't have (or would need to buy.) But it occurs to me that I could instead go for the W10 upgrade and then, if necessary, re-install W7 in a VM on the same machine... the querstion then is: would it let me? Or would it tell me that the W7 product key has akready been used? As it'd be the same physical machine perhaps it would... but being a VM, maybe it won't... i.e. can one re-use a Windows product key on a VM on the same box as the orginal OS was installed?
