Camera not working when we install Windows embedded 7. usbvideo.sys is missing

-

When we are using any Windows embedded template like Application Compatibility, there is every chance that camera may not function properly after the installation is done.

Reason:

1) Drivers not getting installed properly or missing drivers.
2) Check if usbvideo.sys is available in %dir%\Windows\system32\drivers . If the driver is missing then that means you may haven't connected camera while installing the OS. Even if you have this file that doesn't mean camera will work properly. You need to have this usbvideo.sys file and we need to install proper drivers.

Solution:

Connect the camera when you are installing the image. This may give good result but if this is not working then follow the below procedure.

1) Install Windows Embedded 7 toolkit on a Windows 7/XP machine
2) Open Image configuration editor from All Programs -> Windows Embedded standard 7
3) Create a new answer file
4) In the new answer file, select application compatibility as default (from the left side tree view you can select this)
5) Then add the drivers folder from the left side tree view. Save the answer file to a USB
6) Now installing the OS, instead of using Build an image option, select Build an image using answer file and select this file you created and install the OS.

happy installation!!

Network Security: LAN manager authentication level

-
In windows server 2008, if we go to Network Security: LAN manager authentication level(gpedit.msc -> Computer Configuration -> WindowsSettings -> SecuritySettings LocalPolicies -> securityoptions ) and right click on it, we cannot change the value of the authentication level. It is greyed out. To change this we need to go to following registry entry.. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LmCompatibilityLevel and set the value. LmCompatibilityLevel should be 0 for Send LM & NTLM responses 1 for Send LM & NLTM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated 2 for Send NTLM response only 3 for Send NTLMv2 response only 4 for Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM 5 for Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM & NTLM

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client - VPN service not available. The VPN agent service is not responding

-
Sometime there may be a possibility that Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobile Client can crash and service will be continuously crashing if you go and see it in services.msc. I faced this issue when my laptop was shutdown forcefully and below I listed the resolution I found.. Client Version:  3.1.04049 Resolution: Open the browser you have been using. From the options, delete the complete browsing data stored.  Then I found that service was crashing but it gave me a couple of secs opportunity to enter my password to connect to my VPN. I entered my password quickly and then I was successfully able to connect to the VPN and didn't face this issue again. Stupid resolution but still it may be useful for few more people here..
