Hi,

A few days ago I posted a question on driver hung debugging and found no
response. I went on my own and found that device.exe dies while executing
some debug message API. That was the only clue I found after many hours of
stepping through the driver and kernel. I disabled all debug messages by the
driver and found that the driver works fine for hours. In another machine
(much slower than the other) with all the debug messages on no problem.
Anyone has any idea why debug message can kill device.exe?

Thanks,
Hasan
