Hello,

does somebody know how to debug CSPs on Windows XP Professional (English)?
David Hubbard from Microsoft posted this on 2 Mar 2001:

What exactly means "presence of a kernel debugger"? Does it mean that the
process accessing the CSP has to be run from some kernel debugger?
(Maybe a silly question - I have no experience with kernel debuggers): And
is it even possible
to run user mode process in kernel debugger?? I am not sure with MS KD,
SoftICE for XP
does not exist yet. Or just the presence of a kernel debugger in the system
(e.g. having
Debugging tools for Windows installed) is enough?

For MS guys: when will be the CSPDK for XP (mentioned by David Hubbard)
ready?

Thanks a lot
