  • daemon tools v410, softice and my stupidity

    hi!
    i recently installed softice and afcourse i ignored the message thats incompatible with DT. so now ive tried: sptd deleter, removing registry...(i use vista 32 btw)

    but still i get the error that SPTD is not installed...its a good chance that the answer is here already(ive done a search but i dont feel like going through 30 pages) so if anyone can point me in the right direction i would appreciate it very much,

      you have to disable the sptd driver from loading, by either uninstalling it (which then lets you access that key)
      or (if i remember right), selecting not to load it on bootup
      my views are 100% personal views..

        hm..so how do i uninstall it? i got rid of the sptd.sys files and as much registry as i could.

        and how do i choose if i want to load it on startup?

          You've to disable SPTD in registry first (set Start value to 4 in services\sptd key), reboot, then you can enable all permissions of sptd\cfg key and delete it.
          If you can't boot anymore boot with your Windows cd/dvd into recovery console, logon to your Windows installation (requires Administrator password), enter disable sptd, then exit to reboot.

              i still cant install it...altough i "install" it it says that SPTD isnt installed(im using the standalone installer). ive read that there are supposed to be more than one sptd.sys files(some sptd<somenumbers>.sys)-i only have sptd.sys.
              also in the registry under current control set(i use vista ultimate 32 btw)>sptd>enum ive got a key that says INITSTARTFAILED(with a value of 1). ive tried to dleten but nothing(im not even sure what it does...)
