Anybody know if it would be possible to modify the uninstaller to provide a workaround for this? Instead of a code change, perhaps I could modify the uninstaller to check for a Novell installation and provide a pop-up if present. The pop-up could either suggest to the user to uninstall Novell first or instruct them to manually remove vfilter.sys before restarting (or perhaps via Safe Mode if it's still in use).<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: klmlk@hotmail.com<br>To: vpn-help@lists.shrew.net<br>Subject: BSOD after uninstalling Shrew with Novell Client installed<br>Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2010 15:59:55 -0400<br><br>

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>Hotmail & Messenger. <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9724456">Get them on your phone now.</a> <br /><hr />Stay in touch. <a href='http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9724458' target='_new'>Get Hotmail & Messenger on your phone.</a></body>
