SPTD 1.43 problems

[lolworld]

After installing SPTD 1.43, my Windows XP SP2 automatically reboot whenever running:
1. WinAMP 4.53
2. Roxio Easy Media Creator 9

Now revert back to daemon 3.47

Install SPTD 1.47 Beta (forum.duplexsecure.com)

When I installed the latest Deamon Tools (SPDT 1.43) the first extremely annoying thing was that it breaks compatibility with my TV tuner Terratec Cingery 600. When I tried to load the included Terratec recording software my PC was automatically rebooted.
Even with SPDT 1.47 final was the same and not only that problems just got worse. Booting process took ages to complete. While I could see the desktop wallpaper, there was no start bar and icons for at least 30 to 40 sec and even then I must wait for another 20 sec to fully load all background apps.
C'mon, my PC is C2D 6400, 2GB ram, WinXP Pro (32 bit) motherboard Asus P5B Deluxe. Well, I have one extremly non standard solution for my pc config. I use PCI-IDE controller for my 2 IDE disks (onboard IDE is used for 2 DVD-RW drives).
But I still could not understand how the hell, can that SPTD driver mess with my TV tuner and causes PC to reboot (hangs) when I start the program. With 4.08 and SPTD 1.38 I had no such problems.

Either upload and post the link to your latest minidump, or send it to support@daemon-tools.cc for review. It may shed some light on what's causing the BSOD.

@XPunter: Such issues are not so unusual as you might think,
as SPTD is a driver!! It is deeply in system architecture.

Apart from that it must not mean that SPTD is guilty, only
that it conflicts with other drivers.

Although I can admit that Duplex do mistakes ALSO some time,
in >90% of all cases(!!!) it is other, poorly written driver who
conflicts because authors had not slightest idea how to
write absolutly standard-conform drivers or do not have
enough coding-practice, some of them are buggy as hell. They
cause corruptions and other sideeffects. Now, when some
"critical" driver like SPTD, who must RELY! on fact that other
guys maked no shit with system, is added to system and
- just as an example - for whatever reasons read in
memorypage that is not belonging to this specific driver but
other apps, it could damage whole system stability.

Or, to make long story short:

It doesnt matter how good SPTD is matured and designed
if only ONE shitty driver is in system.

It is my sad duty to tell you that especially TV-tuner drivers
are very often designed by above mentioned coders.

As a matter of fact: when we made most parts of driver-
design ourselfs (in old DT 3.XX) we implemented ~400(!)
workarounds and usually got requests of MATURE firms
(some issues you can even read for yourself here at our
board, e.g. Roxio and some others) with sometimes
thousands of employees asked us for support to get THEIR
driver compatible with ours. And mostly BECAUSE we are
so wellknown they couldnt ignore old bus/prt driver. Thats
how business works nowadays.

Not that this means it is also true for your case, it is only
some "insight" so you see how CURRENT situation is and
that it is only <10% fault of SPTD - currently. And as
SPTD is not designed by us but Duplexsecure, I cant
check it without "minutes" now..

BTW; And not every time Duplex writes "Bug fixed:" it means
that they had a bug! It means: Problem fixed - whatever
caused it. I guess you got my point. Nevertheless, I reported
your problem to them as it could indeed be possible bug!
Thank you for notifying us!
