I just downloaded DAEMON tools and I install it and then a window pops up and says would you like to look for a update for this hardware, I put yes only this time. and it installs then i restart like it says to do. when windows logs back in anouther window pops up and says the hardware your installing might corrupt windows system i put continue anyways . the i mount a image in DAEMON tools and it sits there and does nothing i click the i con in my computers it says Hard ware not properly installed.

How can i override the crap and make dameon run and work. because Its sofware not hardware

Check in device manager what's going on - any yellow exclamation marks? Are there any drivers installed for the virtual devices? If not check related thread in common problems and solutions forum.

Anti-virus Software: Norton AntiVirus 11.0.9.16
DAEMON Tools Version: 3.47

I have a very similar problem.
When I install Daemon Tools, a Windows pop-up uppears saying "found new hardware". I tried both "Cancel" and "Install" - the result is the same, the whole thing doesn't work.
Although Daemon Tools claims installation succesful, when I restart, no virtual drive is available.
Hardware device manager features a yellow question sign.
Please advise.

What has yellow question mark? SCSI controller or the virtual device(s)?

[Vel239]

The yellow question mark is at "Other devices". Stepping in, another yellow question mark at "Generic DVD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device".

In the "Properties":

General:
Device is working properly.

Driver:
Unknown - not available

Try to install drivers, point to cdrom.inf (in hidden Windows\Inf folder).

Burning Software: VERITAS RecordNow DX, Version 4.11 And Alcohol 120% recently.
Anti-virus Software: Virus Scan Home Edition v.7.03.6000
DAEMON Tools Version: 3.47

I'm kind of a neophyte in this area. Could you please walk me through this?
I look in the WINDOWS folder, but i see no folder called Inf. What do I do?
My problem is exactly the same as smac1980.
