Hi Kevin,

Please give this version a try. I have modified the install / uninstall 
process to do a better job of cleaning up the NDIS 5 ( 2K/XP ) filter 
driver. The downside is that these modifications won't help folks that 
used an older version of the software to install. :/ But if this works, 
2.1.6+ should offer a better experience for 2K/XP in this regard.

Thanks,
