I recently bought Windows 7 64 bit and a new high end netbook. I code on my Vista 32 bit laptop. Big screen versus 12" screen It turns out my application will not run in 64 bit mode I would love to tell you what the problem is but after a week of trying to read a dump file, I still have no idea. Vista and 7 both refuse to simply give you a simple error message.

Microsoft has decided users are too stupid and tries to automatically resolve it. My application uses DirectX to play sounds when buttons on a game controller are pressed.

This will open the window to make the connection with our windows 7 machine, being in the kernel debugging window, we will go to the COM section, where in the port section we will indicate the port that we put in serial port that we configured in vmware, and we will check the pipe check as shown in the image below.

Once this is done, we have our windbg configured and we are waiting for our windows 7 to upload. Now we will proceed to start our windows 7, during the boot process of the machine, we will be able to see that we are shown two options, one to start our windows normally and another with the debugging mode enabled, which corresponds to the boot mode that we configured in previous steps, so we will choose this option.

If the corresponding mode is selected, if we go to our windbg window we will be able to see that there are certain outputs that confirm that the connection has been made.

If we quickly activate the verbose mode, we will be able to see how all.
