PCDrDVDRw

PCDRDVDDrive

PCDrDVDRw

Issue: DVD Movie test fails on non-prerecorded media

Fix: The DVD test is looking for the DVD_READ property to be current property. However, if a DVD RW disc is inserted the DVD_REWRITABLE property is the first one encountered. Made sure the DVD_READ feature is current when enumerating DVD test.

TT 4453

PCDrParallelPort

Issue: Serial Port Test Failed Defect Code= 0300-210

Fix: Updated code in getbase.c to fix this issue.

TT 4473

PCDr2D3DVideo

Issue: "General Failure" results if unsupported mode is tested on Video module

Fix: Added A message to the diagnostic so when a device does not support any of the requested video modes it will report this new message

NOTE: PCDr2D3Dvideo.ini has been updated with the key PixelTolerance=5.

PixelTolerance: The Line draw test renders two sets of lines in memory. The test will then compare each pixel on every line from two different renderings of these lines. If the difference in shades of color between any two pixels is greater than this value (PixelTolerance), then the test will fail. Be careful in setting this value as setting it too low can cause the Line Draw Test to incorrectly fail.

NOTE: Added code to CDriveTest::DiscoverDevices() to check if the test is designed to ignore removable drives. Added virtual function to all hard drive test classes to return true for this function, all tests other than the hard drive tests will return false. Added virtual "IsRemovable()" method to CDrive class. Added CWin32Drive class override of this function which determines whether drive is removable using IOCTL_GET_DISK_GEOMETRY. Added INI file switch "EnableIgnoreRemovableDrives" which enables this new functionality - default is true.

PCDrMouse

Issue: Mouse Test Doesn't Display Graphics with Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse

Fix: This is really a driver issue (the mouse only has two buttons and a scroll wheel). Added new ini key iForceMouseType so that when UNKNOWN_MOUSE_TYPE is found, we can use iForceMouseType to force mouse type to a specific 858h75i type. IForceMouseType will be ignored when the module successfully detect mouse type.

Issue: Invalid baud rate found in configuration file

Fix: Updated code to support 300 baud, and changed default INI.

TT 4437

PCDrDVDRW

PCDrDVDRAM

Issue: PCDrDVDMinusRW Module enumerated on a DVDRAM Drive.

Fix: The DvdMinusRw test needs to check the DVD-RW feature bit in order to determine if the drive supports DVD-RW media. This will prevent it from being enumerated by the DVD-RAM test. Also, The DVD-RW profiles need to be current in when checking for DVD-RW media.

TT 4440

PCDrHardDrive

Issue: Pattern test default not stated correctly in the INI

Fix: Changed comment in INI for pattern test to read "default=false".

TT 4453

PCDrParallelPort

Issue: PCDrParallelPort.ini incosistent

Fix: Missing enable/disable key in some INI. Added enable/disable key in other INI files.

TT 4466

PCDrDVDDrive

Issue: Tests do not run\run too quickly on QSI DVD-ROM drives

Fix: CD drives need to be able to determine which sectors on a drive to skip. This does not need to be done for DVD drives. What is occurring is that we are actually skipping all sectors on certain DVD drives. Code added to insure that all sectors are testable for DVD media.

TT 4211

Issue: InstallShield: by default, Destination folder = PC-Doctor

Fix: If there are no values for the target directory in the ini files or the registry, the installer will now default to "PC-Doctor for Windows" instead of just "PC-Doctor"

TT 4212

Installation

Issue: InstallShield: by default, Start\Programs folder = CUI

Fix: For both the EUI and CUI, if there is no value for the start menu folder in the ini files, the default folder will now be "PC-Doctor for Windows" instead of either "PC-Doctor Consumer UI" or "PC-Doctor Expert UI"

PCDrMouse

Issue: PCDrMouse hangs while enumerating, preventing launch of CUI

Fix: Mouse module was hanging during enumeration when getting the device caption. To solve the issue, we are getting the caption from registry instead of using setupapi.

TT 3740

PCDrAudio

Issue: Audio Module Test Package Subtest 11 (CD Audio Test) does not have a test name

Fix: Modified code that finds the base address of the serial port to fix this issue.

TT 4175

PCDrNetwork

Changed: Develop Bluetooth and wireless network device testing

Made the test ping the local loopback address 127.0.0.1 if no remote address to ping is found for the network adapter. This is a temporary fix until we can find a way to properly test wireless 802.11 networks where we currently cannot get a remote address to ping.

This feature can be activated using the following new INI switch:
[PCDrNetwork/Settings/Network Communication Test]

PingLoopbackIfNoRemoteAddrFound=1

If this INI setting is set to true and no remote addresses are found, the test will only ping the local loopback address. An informative event will also be generated explaining to the user that only the local loopback address is being pinged. This event code is 16.

The current text for this new event is "No remote address was found on the local subnet. The test will ping the local loopback address instead. If you are running a wireless network in ad-hoc mode this is normal. If you are not running a wireless network, you may not be logged on or your network settings may be incorrect. If the test passes but your network still cannot communicate, please check that you are logged on and that your network settings are correct."

NOTE: PCDrNetwork.ini has been updated with the following key:

PingLoopbackIfNoRemoteAddrFound=1

Description

TT 3525

PCDrModem

Issue: PCDrModem should use settings from "Dialing Rules"

Fix: RasSetEntryProperties() was returning ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER on Windows 98 and Me because the RASENTRY structure being passed to it had an invalid setting for the "dwCountryID" field. The buggy code was setting the "dwCountryID" field to be equal to the "dwCountryCode" field, but they are not always the same. Fixed by getting the TAPI list of countries and looking up the country in the list using the country code to be dialled provided in the INI file. If a match is found, the country ID for the matching country is set in the RASENTRY struct passed to RasSetEntryProperties.

TT 3836

Interactives

Issue: All Interactives - tests that prompt if test pass is missing logo

Fix: The old way had us spawning a child thread which displayed the message box. If the test was aborted we killed the child thread and then hoped that killing the thread would kill the message box. Unfortunately this doesn't work when message boxes use the MB_TOPMOST style, which was another change we had made to fix bad icons appearing in the upper left corner of the message boxes.

This new way of aborting message boxes is Microsoft certified - (see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - Q181934. It now lets us use the MB_TOPMOST style again to fix the incorrect icons on the message boxes.

TT 3971

PCDrModem

Issue: PCDrModem returns N/A on higher (>9) COM ports

Fix: DeviceReferenceServer was using code in SystemConfig2.cpp to only look at first digit in COM port name, for example "COM1". Because of this if could only handle COM port numbers between 1 and 9. Changed code to handle any COM port number.

TT 4007

PCDrNetwork

Issue: Various PCMCIA network cards labeled with garbled characters

Fix: Bug was happening because code was assuming "bDesc" field of MIB_IFROW struct was null-terminated. The correct method is to get the count of characters from the "dwDescrLen" field of the same struct.

TT 4026

Interactives

Issue: Interactive message windows: title bar should contain localized test name

Fix: Added Dapi::CTest::GetTranslatedTestName() method to display localized test name.

Issue: localization-PCDrPrinter-pre-test prompt string cut off

Fix: Updated the dialog so that the strings do not get cut off in other languages

TT 4213

PCDrCDRW

Issue: When test is cancelled, it is reported as a failure

Fix: To be consistent with the standard CD and DVD tests the CDRW and DVDRW tests have been changed. Previously if the user hit cancel to the no media prompt the test was marked as FAILED. The change is to now report ABORTED if the user hits cancel. Also, in the case where prompting is turned off, if there is no media or if the media is of the wrong type, the test will now report CAN_NOT_RUN instead of FAILED.

Also, for consistency, if there is no media and the user hits CANCEL when prompted, the test will load the CD tray before exiting so that it is not left in the open position.

TT 4215

PCDrMouse

Issue: Drag and Drop test doesn't show diskette in drive

Fix: Updated the main and more info dialog so that, they are displayed properly. Fixed the drag and drop issue. Added a function to calculate the drop point instead of hard coding it.

Issue: Test names corrupt under Spanish

Fix: String database was updated for string problem. If we get the strings from the string database we should be fine.

TT 4258

PCDr2D3DVideo

Issue: request for more information in failure log

Fix: Some of the Test name strings were not up to date which caused an error while reading in information from the PCDr2D3DVideo.ini file. These strings have been updated. Also error strings will now also report the display mode that the error occured in.

NOTE: PCDR2d3dVideo.ini has been updated.

Issue #

Module

Description

TT 3921

PCDrAudio

Issue: PCDrAudio cable check test sometimes loops continuously

Fix: Removed the J=2 line from right after if (dwNumUserSpecifiedSources). J=2 was valid if SearchForInputLine=TRUE but caused the test to never get out of the while(pdwSrcLineTypes[ j] != -1) loop if SearchForInputLine=FALSE.

Removing this line causes the test to still go through the source lines loop a couple of times (even though the source line is specified) but that is okay.

TT 3933

PCDrUSB

Issue: USB Test fails on Brookings motherboard

Fix: The problem is in device enumeration. Fixed bug in device enumeration.

TT 3939

PCDrUSB

Issue: Add event describing elapsed time a popup message is on the screen

Fix: Added code to Dapi::CTest::AbortableMessageBox() to generate an informative event saying how many seconds it took the user to close a message box.

Added new "GenMsgBoxRespTimeEvent" setting to the Windapi configuration INI section (for example the [PCDrNetwork/Settings/Windapi] section) which controls whether this event is generated - default if false.

NOTE: All INI files have been updated to include the following key:

GenMsgBoxRespTimeEvent=false.

TT 4024

PCDr2D3DVideo

Issue: 2d3d Video test passes when invalid modes are selected

Fix: Fixed an initialization error that caused the test to not run.

TT 4030

PCDrCDDrive

Issue: The modules tries to run audio test on systems without sound cards

Fix: The test has been modified so that it first checks to make sure that the system being tested has a sound card. If it does not then an event is logged and the test returns CANNOT_RUN. The fix could have also been iimplemented so that the test would not enumerate if there was no sound card. There were pros and cons for each method but I thought that not enumerating any CD drives for the CD audio test might be confusing to the end user. This can be changed if we get any feedback from customers

TT 4050

PCDrMouse

Issue: "More Info" in Portuguese is too long for button

Fix: made changes to the rc file in terms of the size of the dialog and some of the controls, because the more info button could not display some of the translations

TT 4051

PCDrKeyBoard

Issue: Output messages do not name actual keystrokes

Fix: The percent sign was missing from the Portuguese string so it wasn't loading the string parameter. Fixed the string in the string database. Once the files are generated from the database, the problem should be fixed

TT 4052

PCDrKeyboard

Issue: 'Click "Start" to proceed' not localized in Portuguese

Fix: This text was added to the dialog when the problem was that the dialog will not get focus. However the strings were not added to the database. What I did was to remove the strings from the rc file, since focus is no longer a problem.

TT 4084

PCDrHardDrive

Issue: Tests run too fast on Non-English OS, Multi-HDD systems

Fix: This issue is caused by the fact that the Coverage value in the .INI file is not being converted correctly. The atof function is being used, however this function does not handle the decimal point correctly in non English OSs. Since the conversion is being truncated at the '.' the Coverage being used is not valid. The 'atof' call will be replaced to be non language specific.

TT 4097

Optical Drives

Issue: Prompt sequencing for optical drive tests are misleading\confusing

Fix: This issue exists in both the CDRW and DVDRW tests. The prompt strings will be changed so that they do not mention wrong media inserted. They will only prompt the user for the correct media.

TT 4182

PCDrAudio

Issue: Rough Audio test will not pass after prompt to install loopback

Fix: This was caused because the gain is being stepped during the first try through the loopback check. It fails, but the gain doesn't get reset so the 2nd time through the loop the gain is too high causing distortion and the test fails.

PCDrNetwork

Issue: Network Test does not enumerate "some" nics

Fix: On newer systems, if you pass a buffer size of 1 to the Win32 API function GetAdaptersInfo(), it can return ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER, even though the documentation says it should return ERROR_BUFFER_OVERFLOW. Changed the code to handle a return value of ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.

NOTE: The following issues are also fixed along with this fix:

TT 4001 - Network diag does not enumerate PCMCIA ("PC-Card") adapters

TT 3931 - Network diag: Wireless adapter fails

TT 4010

PCDrCDDrive

Issue: Audio test does not work on some systems.

Fix: The target system has a 1394 interface to the CD drive. Since we do not have the drive letter available for 1394 or USB CD devices the test should be using the SCSI calls for those devices.

Issue #

Description

TT 3926

PCDrCDDrive

Issue: PCDrCdDrive CD Audio does not work with Digital CD Audio

Fix: The CD Audio subtest has been modified to work either through the audio cable or through the digital audio. The method to be used is selectable through the new .INI switch 'UseAudioCable'. The default value for this key is 'true' so as to be compatible with current versions of the module. To use digital audio the key should be set to 'false'.

NOTE: 'UseAudioCable' should be set to 'false' so that digital audio will be used. If the key is left out it will use the audio cable, as it currently does.

Fix: Create a new GUID for the DVD Ram Drive Patterns Test.

TT 3901

PCDr2D3DVideo

Issue: Direct Draw Run-Time error for ATI Rage XL: beta driver

Fix: Since it's not certain that the driver is behaving inappropriately, and since it's possible to prevent the driver's behavior from causing errors in the test, I have done so, pending the ability to check in the line draw and polygon draw tests.

I have created a function that waits on a surface until it's ready to go, and used that in the surface blit as well as the pattern fill functions of CSurface and descendents. 

I also removed a potential infinite loop from this code, by putting in a timer that will break out of the loop if the wait for Direct Draw takes too long.

This time out is settable through the ini file, with the variable MaximumSurfaceWaitTime (this is not currently checked for the polygon and line draw tests.)

TT 3906

PCDrCPU

Issue: CPU-MMX test fails on Hyperthreading CPUs

Fix: The current code was running the test on all virtual CPUs at the same time. This was causing an error in the MMX test. The code has been changed to run the test on the virtual CPUs one at a time.

TT 3701

PCDrCDRw

Issue: Auto prompt starts when testing CD-RW

PCDrNetwork

Issue: Network Test Won't Enumerate

Fix: Found that the bug does not happen in release version if you change Visual C project settings to link against "Debug Multithreaded" library. Go to Project | Settings in menu, in "Settings for:" combo box in upper left corner select "Win32 Release", then select "C/C " page, in "Category" combo box, choose "Code Generation", and in "Use run-time library" combo box choose "Debug Multithreaded".

TT 3670

PCDrSystemboard

Issue: RTC Rollover test will fail consistantly on certain ME systems

Fix: The system function SetSystemTime seems to function improperly on some systems. If it is being used to move the clock from some time inside daylight savings time to some time outside daylight savings time, or vice versa, the time set will be an hour off from what was intended.

The fix is to set the time in two parts. First, set the time to something with the proper Daylight Savings Timedness. Second, set the time to the desired time. Thus, the second time setting won't cross the daylight savings time boundaries, and the function will work properly.

NOTE: This test will NOT function properly in the hour from 1AM to 2AM, the second time it occurs, on the fall daylight savings time date. (In 2002, that day is October 27.)

TT 3386

Changed: Interactive: Pass/Fail? in AVI Test should appear after video runs, not at close. Added code to close test dialog when user click on "yes" or "no" on the pass/fail messages box.

TT 3246

PCDrAudio

Issue: PCDrAudio CD Audio test fails consistently

Fix: This issue is caused by the mixer. I updated the tests (cable check, rough audio, and CD Audio Cable) to allow the user to specify the Control IDs in the ini file. Using this method, the user can specify any control to use as input and output and doesn't have to rely on the test to correctly choose.

PCDrDVDRW

Issue: Translations for PCDrDVDRW have bad characters

Fix: All other translations are fixed except for the OK / Cancel button which came from Windows and we have no control over it.

TT 3582

PCDrAudio

Issue: PCDr Audio passes bad hardware

Fix: Changed the RoughAudio test so it only searches the mic and line-in if the SearchForInputLine is set to true. Added code to limit the number of steps the gain will be increased. Changed the code to start at iOutputGainPercent and iInputGainPercent and only increase by the specified number of gain steps. Added prompt to insert loopback if the loopback is not detected.

TT 3678

PCDrCDDrive

Issue: PCDrCDDrive module return SCSI error using CDRW media.

Fix: The real reason for this failure is that we are not skipping the transition gap area between sectors. The code will be changed to use the Table Of Contents of the CD to determine the start and end position of each track. This will allow us to skip the transition areas of the disc.

TT 3695

PCDrAudio

Issue: Causes "Internal Logic Error" when run without enumerating first

Fix: The module created a new test and a new device, but assigned them GUIDS that duplicated those of a previous test and device, and no code were added to the factories to build the new test and device. As a result, when the module tried to deserialize the test or the device from the stored .ser file, it tried to create the wrong kind of test, and wouldn't have been able to create the right kind of test. The device and test now have GUIDS that are different from any other device or test, and the factories have been updated

PCDrCPU

Issue: "Not Occupied" processors were listed in the O-LD Selection Page on systems with multiple CPUs.

Fix: Implement code to filter out duplicate CPU's from enumeration.

NOTE: PCDrCPU.ini has been updated.

TT 3606

PCDrModem

Issue: "Communication cable between two computers" is recognized as modem/device by OLD.

Fix: Made CModemTest::IsTestable() look at TAPI device capabilities for each modem to determine whether has voice capability. This is now used to filter out null-modem cables attached to COM ports.

TT 3606

PCDrCDDrive

Issue: Failed to run Diagnostics tests on TEAC CD-210PU USB Device.

Fix: This problem only occurs if Deserialization is done. This happens if we have the flag to enumerate each time turned off in the INI file. What is happening is that the SymbolicName is not being set during deserialization. The SymbolicName is used to determine the correct 1394 or USB drive to test. Code has been added to the drive test library and to the CDRW test to set the SymbolicName during deserialization.

NOTE: The following modules are affected by this change:

PCDrCDDrive, PCDrDVDDrive, PCDrDVDRAMDrive, PCDrHardDrive, PCDrFloppy, PCDrLSDrive, PCDrZipDrive.

PCDrMicophone

PCDrWav

Issue: Microphone and Wave tests have popups during enumeration when no hardware.

Fix: Removed no device pop up message during enumeration.

TT 3093

Media Modules

Issue: SCSI Drive tests do not complete w/ Server.

Fix: The reason that the drives were not being enumerated properly is because the devices were not being recognized as SCSI. The Device Type was showing up as TWINTAIL, instead of one of the standard ENUM types such as SCSI, IDE, USB, etc... The check for TWINTAIL has been added

TT 3449

PCDrCDDrive

Issue: 2nd CD drive fails w/SCSI error when using 50MB burned.

Fix: On CDRW drives we can use the ReadTrackInformation command to determine the exact size of the track. We can then skip the unreadable transition area. However, the ReadTrackInformation command is not supported on all standard CD drives. So to get around this issue we need to ignore the ILLEGAL_MODE_FOR_THIS_TRACK failure which is caused when trying to read from the transition area. A search for a more permanent fix for standard CD drives is on-going.

TT 3569

PCDrCDRw

Issue: CDRW Read Write Test Fails on new drive.

Fix: The reason the test was failing is because the first read from the drive was timing out. There is a four second timeout on all read commands. The first read command was taking around six seconds due to spin-up issues. By increasing the timout on the first read the problem goes away.

PCDrPrinter

Change: The name of the Default Printer should be displayed. Use the default printer's name as the caption/description of the device.

TT 3538

PCDrMonitor

Issue: PCDrMonitor should be more user friendly

Fix: Added code so that any non system keystroke will exit the test screens.

TT 3522

N/A

Issue: PC Doctor takes a long time to start.

Fix: Part of the solution to this issue is to set the INI key DiscoverPriorToTesting=false in all diagnostic modules. This change will shorten enumeration time when PC-Doctor is collecting information.

NOTE: DiscoverPriorToTesting=false are set for all modules for all costomers.

Issue: Pre-test prompts need to remain in front of GUI

Fix: Made media prompt MessageBoxes system modal so they don't get hidden.

PCDrMonitor

Issue: Monitor test has unreadable info

Fix: Reformatted the database string so that the monitor test instruction 3 won't go off the screen.

TT 3482

PCDrDVDDrive

Issue: It has a DVD ROM test but prompts for a CD to test with..

Fix: There are two issues here:

1) DVD Media Prompt hidden. This is a duplicate issue and has been addressed in TT 1891.

2) DVD drive prompting for a CD. This is as designed. Both the CD and DVD tests will run on DVD drives if scripted that way. There may have been some confusion due to issue 1 where the DVD prompt was hidden. There is also a flag available in the INI file for the CD test that can prevent the CD test from running on DVD drives.

TT 3517

PCDrModem

Issue: Modem mod. make subtest 0, 1, 2, 3 check if modem is in use.

Fix: Now all the PCDrModem tests should fail the same way when the modem to be tested is in use. They should all fail with event 174 which displays the message "The device "DEVICE NAME" is in use."

TT 3446

PCDrModem

Issue: PCDRModem.ini-Automatic generated name not functioning w/subtest 4 and 5.

Fix: If "Make Temporary Connection" setting is true and "Connection Name" setting is blank, the Simple Connection and Connection Quality Tests will now create temporary dial-up connections with automatically generated names like "Temp Connection N" where N=1,2,3,... The tests tries different values of N until a name which does not match the name of any existing dial-up connection is found. Since temporary connections are deleted after testing, running the test multiple times sequentially with these settings should always create temp dial-up connections with the name "Temp Connection 1".

PCDrZipDrive

Issue: PCDrZipDrive FAILS without media, should report N/A.

Fix: The drive test library has been modified so that if there is no media in the drive the test will report "CANNOT RUN" instead of "FAILED". As a future enhancement we may want to offer the ability to prompt the user for the correct media, as we currently do with the optical drive tests. This would require a change request.

TT 3052

PCDrCDRw

Issue: USB CDRW drive not enumerated.

Fix: Enhanced enumeration to handle all USB CDRW devices. An addition was made to the device enumeration to handle devices of type SCMMSD.

NOTE: This fix requires a change in a global file. All diagnostic modules may be affected as a result.

PCDrCDRW

Issue: USB CDRW drive does not enumerate.

Fix: Added USB and 1394 detection for CD, CDRW, DVD, DVDRW, and DVDRAM drives.

NOTE: This fix requires a change in a global file. All diagnostic modules may be affected as a result.

PCDrCDDrive

Change: Disable Optical drives' Autoplay function while optical test modules are running. Increased delay after media load in order to keep autoplay disabled longer

TT 3147

PCDrHardDrive

Issue: Bad error messages reported by HD test.

Fix: This problem is being caused by the fact that we are attempting to log a Windows System Error description when we are using PC-Doctors own driver. We need to use a more generic error message in this case. This requires a change to the drive test library. Hard Drive test will now display correct error code on Hard Drive failures.

TT 3208

PCDrCDRW

Issue: CDRW test only testing at one write speed.

Fix: The CDRW test has been updated with the following changes
1) The test will now run at each available write speed. Previously the test was only testing at the currently selected write speed. 2) Previously the CDRW test would blank the drive each time it ran the test. This was extremely time consuming. The test will now only blank the drive when it deems that it is necessary to do so. A new track will be written for each write speed in a test. There are 99 allowable tracks on a disc. Therefore the test will blank the drive only if there is insufficient disc space, insufficient tracks, or the disc has been finalized (un-appendable). This feature can be turned on and off by the new INI key "bPreEraseOnlyIfRequired". If the flag is off the test will blank each time it runs. The flag "bPreMinimalErase" has been removed.

NOTE: PCDrCDRW.ini has bee updated with the key "bPreMinimalErase" removed, and the key "bPreEraseOnlyIfRequired = 1" added.

PCDrMODEM

Issue: PCDRMODEM.EXE Will Fail subtest 5 if subtest 4 & 5 are run together in a script, and subtest 3 & 5 will pass with source code values on NT4.0.

Fix: 1. Added code to check if device to be tested is in use.
2. Added code to check if dial-up connection to use for testing the device is in use.

3. For connection quality test, added code to make sure still connected after each ping packet.

4. Made test easier to abort.
