Hello I followed the notes on Andreas Marshall's TAPI and TSP FAQ site and edited my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TapiSrv\ImagePath to: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin\msdev.exe" %SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k tapisrv [Previously it was: %SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs] Andreas site suggested that it would be originally be: %SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k tapisrv - on Windows 2000 and higher. But my XP system had netsvcs - don't know if this makes a difference? I also made the service interact with desktop change. When I then launch dialer.exe MSDev is loaded and I press F5 to debug - get message C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe does not contain debugging information. Press OK to continue. Then after a delay I get a dialog saying: Error: Phone Dialer Operation: Initializing Windows Telephony Services Details: Failed initializing a telephony service component (TAPI3.DLL). System registry may be corrupted. If symptoms persist, try restarting Windows or using REGSVR32 to update registry settings for the TAPI components. Error: The operation failed for an unspecified reason. What am I doing wrong? Angus

Yes, it makes a difference! By default you have parameter netsvcs on client OS (except Vista where it isn't netsvcs but something similar) and paramter tapisrv on server OS (I'm not sure about WS2k8). The difference determines whether the Telephony Service runs exclusively within its own SvcHost or in a shared SvcHost. See my TAPI and TSPI FAQ: Q: How can I run TAPISRV exclusively in a svchost process ? http://www.i-b-a-m.de/Andreas_Marschall's_TAPI_and_TSPI_FAQ.htm#_Q:_How_can_6 For TSP debiugging ot is always recommended to run the Telephony Service exclusively within its own SvcHost - otherwise you may severly affect other services! > I also made the service interact with desktop change. > > When I then launch dialer.exe MSDev is loaded and I press F5 to debug - get > message C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe does not contain debugging > information.

Angus, I find it much easier to debug by attaching to the tapisrv process. This way you don't need to wait for Visual Studio to be loaded for every debug run. I have even created a plugin for VS 2005 and VS 2008 which let's you debug tapisrv from the IDE with a single mouse click: http://www.tapi.info/default.aspx/TAPI/DebugTapisrvAddIn.html PS: In any case you should set tapisrv to exclusive mode.
