"I uninstalled d-tools but the virtual cdrom is still there"

[Boch_Choi]

1. Start device manager (run devmgmt.msc [winnt] or goto control panel, system, device manager [win9x])
2. Goto System Devices section
3. Delete Plug and Play BIOS Extension
4. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DELETE ALCOHOL'S (drivers: axv???.sys; D-tools should be called st3???.sys or d34x???.sys)
5. Goto the SCSI section
6. Remove the d-tools controller (not Alcohol's [AXV???])
7. Delete Daemon Tools driver files (file names mentioned above)

1. Ok simple enough
2. Also simple
3. I do not see "Plug and Play BIOS Extension" in the system devices section
4. where is this located?
5. SCSI is what?
6. I thought I already uninstalled D-tools?
7. Where are those located?

Vista x64 bit
Uninstalled with REVO uninstaller.. so I figured all the drivers would be gone...?

Thanks and sorry for my incompetence.

Which DT version was in use ?
Because the instructions you're quoting are for very old v3 DT versions not compatible with Vista.

[Boch_Choi]

I suppose the most recent?
One that worked with Vista, either way I have that issue.

So any instructions to dealing with the same issue on vista?

Reinstall DT lite, remove virtual drive(s), uninstall DT lite with its own uninstall routine, uninstall SPTD access layer with the x64 Installer from Duplex Secure.

If that doesn't work go through these steps:

Virtual Drive was removed just fine.

Do I still need to "uninstall SPTD access layer with the x64 Installer from Duplex Secure."

Thanks.

The SPTD access layer was installed along with DAEMON Tools lite.
If you don't have any other software using SPTD like e.g. Alcohol or StarBurn i would uninstall SPTD.
