Hi James, I tried to update the GPLPV drivers from 0.10.0.55 to 0.10.0.69, but during installation of the xenblk driver I got a 7E error. the 7E comes again with reboot, so the Virtual Machine is afterwards unusable. Is there a safe way to deinstall, and then cleanly install the drivers, or is this a known problem with version 0.10.0.69 ? It happened both with Windows XP and Windows 2003 (64bit).

You can get the batch file from http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/gplpv_uninstall_bat.zip Uninstall, reboot, install, reboot, success :).

Otherwise I will get a blue screen. There will be a second mail about the Sophos Problem, I can provoke a blue Screen with Sophos.

Hi James, with an installed Sophos Virusscanner I can always provoke a blue screen. This happens both with 0.10.0.55 and 0.10.0.69. The blue definitly do not happen with /NOGPLPV How to reproduce the problem: Login as Admin Right klick for example on the paper tray Klick "Check with Sophos" You get the blue screen.

The blue > definitly do not happen with /NOGPLPV >Hmmm... from what I understand, antivirus software likes to hook and patch the kernel in places it probably shouldn''t... I assume that GPLPV doesn''t like something that happens there. If you are only scanning a file though I can''t see how that could matter. I really need to be able to reproduce this problem to be able to even look at it... does Sophos have a free and pay-for version like AVG? If not, maybe a trial version?
