Hi Dustin,

reverting is a matter of seconds, as I am running my domU on a lvm snapshot 
volume.

I tried installing again. When I got the new hardware windows, I did nothing, 
but they did nog go away. So I hit cancel on every one.

In the device manager, the xen devices still had the exclamation mark. 

I then added the /gplpv line in the boot.ini and rebooted. This worked fine ! 
But windows still didn't use the xen drivers ( no change in the counters in xm 
top ). The drivers still have the exclamation mark and every time I reboot I 
get all the "new hardware" windows again and again. 

I had installed the 0.9.10 drivers last week, this made windows hang, but the 
counters in xm top did go up.

I removed all faulty drivers from the device manager and rebooted. When I then 
look at the devices, no drivers are installed. I then installed them one by one 
and get error :

" Windows has loaded the driver in memory, but can't find the device itself ( 
code 41 )" ( this is a translation from dutch )

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance,

Peter.
