[billandben]

Hi
made back up images of educational software i own , all use to work fine with dt , but now i keep getting asked for the cd ??? on 4 of them , the other one , tries to laod and giveds the error = macromedia flash has a problem and has to close , the other 2 work fine ??
i apologise for the lack of info but if you tell me what info you need to solve this i will get it for you
the only thing i can see that looks like it a protection thing is SECDRV ??
THANK YOU :idea:

Secdrv.sys is Macrovision = SafeDisc driver.
Try to change Vendor and Model names of virtual devices to non-standard names, also try to un-install Daemon Tools and re-install with non-default driver names, if renaming of virtual devices does not help.

Right-click on Daemon Tools tray icon -> Virtual CD/DVD-ROM -> select the drive to change -> Set device parameters -> change Vendor and Model names.

is there anything else you can think off ? as i said , all but one worked fine , now i get asked for the cd , and one runs to the loading screen and then the error box ?? if you need more info please let me know
cheers

there IS software that runs without the cd for some time, then ask for it once in a while. in case your images aren't good it might be the first time you run into the cd-check and now it does not work.

[Copytrooper]

Did you try to un-install Daemon Tools and re-install with non-default driver names then? And if it still fails, also try to use non-standard Vendor and Model names again.

[billandben]

hi
did as you said uninstalled , re installed , all i did was change the numbers in the driver port box'es , and then it did not work , so i changed the vendor and model names to something obscure like hghghg, jkjkjkj, etc still no joy , what congo man says has happend before , have tried new images , but no work , and anyhow 2 still work ???
puzzeling ???

[Copytrooper]

Btw what exactly happens - "did not work"? Do you get some error message?

[billandben]

Hi
no error messages , only pop up asking to insert the cd , only one , image comes up with a error, it's loading screen comes up and then dissapears to be replaced with the windows xp box opens up with " macromedia projector , has a problem , and needs to close , usuall error reporting box !

some mounted images (or programs requiring a CD/DVD) don't work anymore

It looks like just a normal crashed application. I bet you will have the same problem with the original CD.

[billandben]

Well if that is the case how do i cure it ?please .
thank you

[billandben]

hi
well now got all of them working again ( don't ask what i did cause i dont know ????) ecept the one with the macromedia problem , on the image there is a file saying macrovisison security driver , then the file size , date created etc , is that what is causeing the problem ?? any way around it ??
thanks
