        If the drivers are installed correctly there should be a Xen Project device under 'System Devices' in device manager.

        Can you see it there?

          I have no idea if Windows XP is supported by Xen's PV drivers, you may have to run without PV driver support for such an old desktop OS.

              what it strange is that i installed xs-tools successfully without any error, in the first time it asked me to install dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64 then i installed xs-tools successfully

                  If you right click and tell it to search the machine for a driver, does it find one?

                  Can you emulate another device to Win XP through XenCenter?

                    thank you guys, you are right the citrix PV ethernet Adapter was not installed, one window keep pop up telling that one driver is missing, i followed next next then finally the PV driver was installed 🙂

                    thank you
