Topic: portcls.sys causing BSOD

I have integrated the latest driver packs with the latest driver base, and I keep getting a BSOD on setup stating that portcls.sys has crashed.  I seen a few other posts on here but not a clear answer as to solve this issue with the driver. 

I can reboot and then continue setting up XP completely.  But the Realtek AC97 drivers are not loaded.  When I try to load the drivers from within XP it crashes everytime once the drivers start installing.

What is the thing to do?

Thanks alot.

Re: portcls.sys causing BSOD

please give more info, are you using other tools like RyanVM or nLite?
could you please include your logs? DPs_BASE.log in the program file, and or the finisher log (from the installation drive)?

Re: portcls.sys causing BSOD

So sorry for taking so long, I was on vacation.

Yes, I used RyanVM to add updates and addons, used nLite to do some tweaking, and used DPbase for adding the driver packs.  I used VM first then nLite then DP. Here is the DP log:
