DTPro - Unable to add adaptor.

[professorx]

v4.30.0303
I had this running ok but uninstalled it, both SCSI and IDE adapters were disabled at the time.
However, I get the above error "Unable to add adapter. Registry access error" when I try and run the app.
Any ideas? I'm guessing that it has something to do with the fact that I disabled the adapters before uninstalling.

DT Lite 4.30.3 is ok.
SPTD is ok.
Windows XP SP3

i have gone through the procedure in DAEMON Tools Professional Help: Unable to add adapter without success.

Success: installing latest version solved the problem.

I'm getting a similar problem. It was running fine yesterday, but I did some tweaking in the administrative tools in order to free up space. I disabled the following windows services:

What about just redo the changes?

Code 39:Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

There are several causes of Code 39 errors:
A required device driver is missing.
A required binary file is corrupted.
There is a problem with the file I/O process.
A driver that is referencing an entry point in another binary file is unable to load.
Recommended resolution

Reinstall the drivers for this device.

Uninstall and reinstall the driver

Uninstall the driver from Device Manager, and then scan for new hardware to install the driver again.

You may be prompted to provide the path of the driver. Windows may have the driver built-in, or may still have the driver files installed from the last time that you set up the device. However, sometimes, it will open the New Hardware Wizard which may ask for the driver. If you are asked for the driver and you do not have it, you can try to download the latest driver from the hardware vendor’s Web site.
On the device Properties dialog box, click the Driver tab, and then click Uninstall. Follow the instructions.
Restart your computer.
Open Device Manager, click Action, and then click Scan for hardware changes. Follow the instructions.
