Q92532

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows Device Development Kit (DDK) for Windows, versions 3.1, 3.11

-

SYMPTOMS
Under the debugging version of Windows, you may see something like &quot;GlobalAlloc failed&quot; or some other messages indicating problems, after the logo is displayed. Under non-debug Windows, the logo will display, then the screen will clear, then nothing else seems to happen. You must press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reset the system.

Note: This should happen only while developing a display driver that implements device bitmaps.

CAUSE
The display driver device returned 0 (zero) to fail a RealizeObject function call after setting the RC_DEVBITS value in the dpRaster member of the GDIINFO structure.

RESOLUTION
Modify the device driver to prevent it from failing the RealizeObject function call. A device driver cannot fail this call under Microsoft Windows 3.1. See section 2.1.14 of the 3.1 Device Driver Kit (DDK) &quot;Device Driver Adaptation Guide&quot; (DDAG) for more information.
