Hi,

Never had this issue before, but NO, it won't let me remove it !

Uninstall won't work, since no drivers was installed.

To get it installed, should XP have found something in \SUN\VirtualBox\Drivers somewhere ?

Just plain weird it can't find it no where !

Thanks for your time, will wait for v2.2.1 to be release, still enjoy v2.1.4 for now :)

The driver isn't available in 2.1.4, as it's a 2.2.0 feature. If you install 2.2.0 again, it should be able to find the driver, or let you point to it at least. Should work then.
