Post subject: Server crash on install

I am trying to install the trail software on a new server2008 (x86) and getting a blue screen crash listing the exception as firshop.sys

I have completely reinstalled the OS and tried again with the same results ?

any help is appreciated.

You shouldn't need to reinstall the OS. Just go to safe mode, and then rename the driver firsthop.sys under C:Windows\system32\drivers directory.

BTW, the driver crash should be very rare. Please make sure your Windows does not have low-level software (e.g. anti-virus, HP Network Configuration Driver, etc...) that might conflict with FirstSpot. In general, it is the best if you install FirstSpot in a "clean" Windows.

This is a clean install, no antivirus, no other HP drivers. I will look at the driver again.

What is the network card brand that you use for Visitor Network Interface side? Can you switch to another type of network card as a test?

Broadcom card can be a bit tricky (as Visitor Network Interface). See http://patronsoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2098 for more information.

Please switch to another type of network card if you still have difficulties.
