Hi Uri,

Thank you for helping me with this.

Got it figured out.

1)  I am not finding an entry in Add/Remove Programs for
Spice Guest Tools or anything Red Hat for that matter.

I did find a shortcut in my programs menu called
      Uninstall SPICE Guest Tools

which points to a non-existant
      Uninstall-spice-guest-tools.exe

There is an "Uninstall vert-view.exe" in the
directory as the Uninstall-spice-guest-tools.

Running the other name give a pop up announcing it
is the Spice Guest Tools Uninstall Wizard,
so it must be the right one.  I will report this to
Red Hat on their Bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200583

And, it leaves the Program Files directory there.
I added that to the bug report.



2) This problem is isolated to XP, so on a hunch,
I uninstalled (manually removing the Program Files
directory)
       spice-guest-tools-0.74.exe
and reinstalled
       spice-guest-tools-0.52.exe

This time in device manager, I got the same two
"virt-Serial Driver", one with a bang mark.

But this time, updating the one with the bang mark from
     C:\Program Files\SPICE Guest Tools\drivers\winxp\x86

loaded a different driver called
      virt-Serial Driver Raw PDO

And it neglected to prompt for a reboot.  After a
reboot the clipboard work fine.

So, I am reporting it to Red Hat as well:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200592


You guys deserve combat pay for working on this stuff day
in and day out!
