SetEvent(hEventWorkerThreadDone);To: // Perform some work. SetEvent(hEventWorkerThreadDone);Change: // Perform some work. ... SignalObjectAndWait(hEventWorkerThreadDone, hEventMoreWorkToBeDone, INFINITE, FALSE);To: // Perform some work. SignalObjectAndWait(hEventWorkerThreadDone, hEventMoreWorkToBeDone, INFINITE, FALSE);

Change: "For this key to be taken into account, you also need to create a DWORD key named LoadAppInit_Dlls with 1 as the value." To: "For this key to be taken into account, you also need to create a DWORD key named LoadAppInit_DLLs with 1 as the value."

"exception" should be "except" On page 690, the first sentence of the 3rd paragraph contains an invalid block type.
