Re: Release 0.9.8 of GPL PV Drivers for Windows

[Ruslan Sivak <russ@vshift.com>]

I have a win2003 x64 box running just fine.  I think a lot of things 
depend on how you install the drivers.  I think the proper way is :

Boot into regular mode, run the installer. 
Go into device manager and manually install all the drivers. 
Set up the boot entry and reboot. 

If you just run the installer, and for some reason the drivers don't get 
installed, and you boot into the gplv mode and then manually install the 
drivers, it will most likely hose your system.  NEVER install the hard 
disk drivers in GPLV mode.  (unless it's for a secondary disk, or 
installing the virtual framebuffer).
