EnumServiceStatus would be best thing. you can also use CreateToolhelp32Snapshot as an alternative

Hi Sameer, When the system reboots after text setup( I think you are using unattended installation )and you see the windows progress bar at that time your graphics driver also is getting started so that OS can bring the system to High Res mode from VGA mode. If there was some problem with sys BIOS or video bios than you wont see the post or windows progress bar. And graphics driver are part of your OS installation. I think there is something wrong with the Gfx driver configured for your gfx chipset. It may have some issues with ACER shipped platforms. It would be really difficult to point the problem without actually debugging :). I work on gfx drivers, i've seen and worked on similar issues but there can be 'n' reasons for this problem. I would suggest you not to tweek a lot with system and take help from your vendor of Acer because they will definitely help you here. Thanks, Dhirendra

I dont think you can use the integrated and discrete card at the same time. if you really wanted to Extend you desktop to second display why dont you just use intergrated card and attach a second display via some ADD card.

there are lot of things which might be wrong. give some more info like. are you able to install the OS completely? if yes then are you able to boot into safe boot if you restart? if yes then also try to boot by attaching some other monitor(CRT) also. might be display is on some other device. if still is doesnot work contact your acer vendor. this might be the known issue for gfx driver on your platform.

Why do you need to write a PS2 mouse driver as that comes with windows. If you need a filter driver you can use src\input\moufiltr example in DDK source. that will help you alot to start with. Dhirendra

you can use GlobalMemoryStatus for getting info about available mem space
