Once the qemu drivers have been disabled by booting with /gplpv (or without /nogplpv in newer versions) is it sufficient to reset/reboot the domain to boot without the drivers, or does it need to be destroyed and created again for the qemu emulation to resume? Fresh install of vista + 0.9.12 pre9 = 0x0000007B :(. What do I need to do to debug this? I am running 3.3.1 rc4, I can try 3.3 if you think it might help, perhaps I need the patch for hiding devices? Andy
