John,
thank you for that hint. Unfortunately it still doesn´t work. I 
followed your description exactly.

Additional I took a look into the bootlog (wich I enabled priviously) 
and the system seem to try to load the qxl.sys:

But I don´t see the videoprt.sys loading. The tool "Depends 2.2" 
identifies the qla.sys depends on it. Can you please check the behaviour 
on your Windows 7 box?

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
Mario
