Does anyone know what can go wrong with the windows NUL device? :-)
Do you need any kind of special permissions to use NUL?
You could download winobj from sysinternals.com.
Check that \GLOBAL??\NUL is a symbolic link to \Device\Null
Check that \Device\Null exists.
Check the permissions for both (properties, security tab).
