whitepaper A Support Guide for Wireless Diagnostics and Troubleshooting2005-05-31 Microsoft
  This paper is designed to be a support aid to help diagnose wireless connection and authentication issues. It is meant to provide an advanced level of wireless diagnostics procedures by analyzing tracing logs generated by wireless components in Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 to spot common problems and verify basic operation. This paper includes a quick reference, providing quick answers to common connection problems. This paper assumes knowledge of IEEE 802.11-based wireless LAN networking including related technologies such as IEEE 802.1X and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).

whitepaper Configuring Windows XP IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networks for the Home and Small Business2005-05-16 Microsoft
  The utility of wireless networking in the home and small business has obvious benefits. With wireless networking, you do not have to install cabling to connect the separate computers together and portable computers, such as laptops or notebook computers, can roam around the house or small business office and maintain their connection to the network. Although there are multiple wireless networking technologies available to create wireless networks, this paper describes the use of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standards.

whitepaper Soft Real-Time Acquisition in Windows XP2005-05-02 University of Ljubljana
  This paper presents two possible approaches for a soft real-time acquisition under Windows XP. The first approach is based on a high priority thread and the second one on a local advanced programmable interrupt controller (LAPIC). Robustness was evaluated on unloaded and loaded system. In order to assess real-time system performance we analyzed sampling time histograms and maximum timing error. Both approaches perform satisfactory on unloaded system. On loaded system LAPIC approach shows better robustness. Although sampling time histograms show bigger errors on loaded systems than on unloaded systems, maximum timing error does not change significantly for the LAPIC approach.   
whitepaper Controlling EWF by Using the EWF APIs2005-05-01 Microsoft
  Windows XP Embedded includes Enhanced Write Filter (EWF), which provides a means for protecting a volume from disk writes. This paper provides several examples that demonstrate how to create applications by using the set of EWF application programming interfaces (APIs) through Visual Studio .NET 2003. The Write Filter component in Microsoft Windows NT Embedded provides basic support to protect a hard disk from read and write access.

whitepaper Troubleshooting Microsoft Windows XP-Based Wireless Networks in the Small Office or Home Office2005-05-01 Microsoft
  Because small office/home office (SOHO) wireless networks do not have servers to perform automated configuration and verify authentication credentials, in many cases the configuration of wireless networks is done manually, which can introduce errors relating to mismatched authentication and encryption settings. Other issues such as signal interference and signal attenuation can also cause a lack of connectivity or intermittent connectivity problems. This paper describes how to troubleshoot the most common issues with Microsoft Windows XP-based wireless connections on a SOHO network.

whitepaper Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Technical Overview2005-04-25 Microsoft
  Advances in processor technology, such as extending the capabilities of the x86 architecture, have brought the power of 64-bit computing to these PC users. Extending the capabilities of the x86 architecture enables a customer to use a 64-bit operating system to either seamlessly run 32-bit and cutting edge 64-bit applications or continue to use today's standard 32-bit operating system and applications. Microsoft has developed a new 64-bit version of Windows XP Professional, called Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, to take full advantage of this new architecture.   
whitepaper Checklist for 64-Bit Microsoft Windows Drivers2005-04-20 Microsoft
  The checklist presented in this paper provides a brief list of the coding and installation concerns for developers who are creating drivers that will run on 64-bit editions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. This information applies for the following operating systems: Microsoft Windows codenamed "Longhorn", 64-bit editions of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows XP.

whitepaper Print Driver Setup: 64-Bit Drivers and Platforms2005-04-20 Microsoft
  With the release of Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 Service Pack (SP) 1, the adoption of 64-bit computing is accelerating. Printers sold today will be used in mixed 32-bit and 64-bit environments for many years, and printer manufacturers must plan accordingly. This paper provides information about how to write an INF file that correctly installs 32-bit and 64-bit printer drivers on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems.
