I have documented this on the wiki -

It's probably the upper and lower filter entries in the registries that
are biting you - if xenhide.sys is an upper or lower filter anywhere (eg
on the pci bus) then that driver won't load (because you deleted it),
and obviously if the pci bus doesn't get loaded then nothing good is
going to happen.
