Comment 12 for bug 105195

I had an XP qcow image which I had working under Feisty but found with Gutsy that it would crash after the login screen appears. Eventually, when trying out Hardy Alpha5 I did some more digging and, when trying to do screen captures when the bluescreen appears, found this message:

Intelppm.sys, DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS,

This site : http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2005/10/24/484461.aspx suggested booting into Safemode and executing commands such as:

sc config intelppm start= disabled

I had to do this a couple of for iterations because other drivers were also incompatible.

Hopes this helps with people having similar problems.

Suspect this is not going to get fixed in KVM/QEMU any time soon since is would require emulating more hardware.
