It's an internal kernel call, so SMSS can't call it. But you can leave display string enabled -- it doesn't affect anything.
In fact, if you NtDisplayString something in Windows, and then later unload the video driver (restoring the VGA context), you'll see the string. -- Best regards, Alex Ionescu On 2011-06-15, at 9:50 AM, Rafał H wrote: > You are right.
