[Dx4win] vichw11.sys woes

[Darrell Earnshaw]

Tom,

I experienced the same thing on Windows XP Pro a couple of times after 
the upgrade. I can't remember the exact conditions under which it 
happened, but I think I solved the problem by copying the driver file 
once more, but deleting the old one BEFORE copying the new one into the 
Windows directory... and maybe I rebooted immediately afterwards. As I 
said, it was a few weeks ago, so I can't remember the exact details. 
But, it's working okay now.

Good luck,

Darrell
