Hi all,<br><br>In my organization we use Novell with the Novell Client on Windows. After uninstalling Shrew VPN (2.1.5 or 2.1.6b7) on a Windows XP machine that has the Novell Client installed, the next time the machine is restarted, Windows will crash to a BSOD on startup. Shrew VPN uninstalls fine if the Novell Client has been removed first. <br><br>The BSOD error: DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS<br>The guilty file: vfilter.sys<br><br>I had found this BSOD error in some other posts to this listserv, but they are related to the Deterministic Network Enhancer, which is not present on my machine.<br><br>I also noticed that the vfilter.sys file gets left behind even during a successful uninstall (one that does not result in a BSOD on next boot), is that supposed to happen?<br><br>To reproduce: <br>Install Novell Client v4.91 SP5 and Shrew VPN 2.1.5 (or 2.1.6) in any order, then uninstall Shrew VPN and reboot.<br><br>Pieces:<br>Novell Client v4.91 SP5<br>Shrew VPN 2.1.5<br>Windows XP SP3<br><br> <br /><hr />Got a phone? <a href='http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9724457' target='_new'>Get Hotmail & Messenger for mobile!</a></body>
