Hi,

I just tested it. I have the WDK docs integrated with the MSDN off-line
library, I did the search using quotes and it found the article at this
location.

ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v90.en/kernel_r/hh/Kernel_r/k112_39688b8b-4b33-4bce-b71f-e9c183e4d6bd.xml.htm

Hi Gerry,

How did you get "the WDK docs integrated with the MSDN off-line
library" ? Do you mean you use the MSDN Library shortcut to start Document
Explorer, and from there the WDK docs are among the places that are
searched? Or do you use the "WDK doc" shortcut?

Hi,

I don't remember exactly how I set it up, but I think it was something like:

1. Install latest MSDN Library from DVD
2. Install the latest SDK and WDK

It was a while since I installed it, but I remember being surprised to
see the WDK docs integrated, as it always used to be a pain having to go
to two different places.

I launch the MSDN docs from the Vista start menu by choosing.

"MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2008 - ENU".

I sort of did the same (from the top of my head) and launch MSDN lib the
same way, but the query finds 0 local hits...

Hi,

Do you see "Windows Driver Kit" under the heading "Win32 and COM
Development"?

OK, are you able to browse to the "IRP" document within "Kernel
Structures"? If so, please post the URL. Then do a search for

KPROCESSOR_MODE

without using quotes.

How many hits do you get?
