Dustin, Did you download the latest windows virtio drivers that are signed by Redhat/Fedora? If not, you can find the latest stable ISOs at the following link:
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.126-2/ Once you get the ISO downloaded, install the drivers, shutdown the VM, change the VM’s OS Type to be Windows PV and finally start the VM. Windows will take a moment during this first boot to reconfigure its hardware and any reboots after this initial one should be faster. Also, you can verify the drivers being used in Device Manager. Look for devices that say RedHat Virtio, or something similar to that. I hope that helps.

I tried to run drvload.exe each inf file. No luck. Is there a better way to install the drivers so Windows will pick up and change?
