[Winpcap-users] Conflict between WinPcap and other WinXP drivers?- hanging on boot

[Eric Hansen]

It's very unlikely (though still a possibility) that WinPCap is the
problem.  If your friend has any live CD's (like Knoppix [Linux]), or if you
can make him one, see if that'll boot past the point where the XP CD fails.
Other than that, he might have to reformat (don't quote me on this, because
what your friend told you, doesn't sound all that clear [to me atleast]).

This is to all the other members here...does any "Internet protection"
programs (Anti-Virus, Spywayre scanner, etc...) cause these problems with
WinPCap??
