splwow64.exe exits immediately and CreateDC fails under IIS
by Guest Ben Liddicott- 0 replies
- 169 views
Hi, I am having a problem accessing a local printer on Windows 2003 64 bit, under IIS6.0 running a 32-bit ASP.Net application. Printers can be successfully enumerated, but not printed to. This previously worked, so is probably due to some configuration change or OS patch. I have narrowed it down, I think, to a problem calling CreateDC and friends (via p/invoke). We have detailed tracking turned on, so I can see that when this call is made the splwow64.exe is being started in the context of NETWORK SERVICE and immediately exits (with no delay).

It also displays fine when I run wscui.cpl. wscui.cpl does not show up under the "don't load" folder in the registry, which is good. Is there a way I can get the Control Panel icon back? Thanks.

Hello, I am using a windows Server 2008 standard SP1. Now I connect to the server with remote Desktop. So far no problems. When I use any kind of barcodescanner I have the following problem: Normally the scanner send a CTRL-B as a start character. On this environment in the keypress function I get the Character B at first and then the Control Character. So it is vice versa to any other kind of Windows Server. The problem does not occur when the remote desktop window it not maximized! Thanks you for your suggestions. Gregor
