Playing genuine DVD games seems not to work any more.!

[TonyM]

Greetings everyone,
i seem to have a slight problem since i installed Daemons Tools recently. Playing genuine DVD games seems not to work any more.
For example..
I have the original Crysis DVD which worked fine before DT.
Now when i insert the dvd the 'autoplay' kicks in BUT after i press play nothing happends..same with COD4.

So i searched the web and thought i found a way..where you have to delete the 'Upperfilters'..which i did but still no luck.

I inserted a movie DVD just to see if that is gone too but the movie works fine no probs there...

so just the games will not kick in...

anyone has a clue on this for me please?

Thanks folks in advance for your advice..

Hi everyone...
a few days ago i downloaded 'Daemon Tools' and ever since my DVD Rom drive is not working anymore when i try to play genuine DVD games.

For example i tried it with 'Crysis and COD4'..
i insert the DVD into the drive and the auto play feature comes up...
i press 'play' then the first 'start screen' appears where you press play etc...
I press play again..the screen disappears and that is it.!!!...game will not kick in...no clue why..!!

Just to see if it's a DVD Rom failure i inserted a DVD movie to see if that works and it's fine..movie is all good and starts..so it's only with games.
I went to their website forum to see if I'm the only one but all their advise is of no help.
Some said that i have to delete the 'upper filter' in the 'reg edit' which i did but it did not work...

Just earlier i deleted 'Daemon Tools' completely as i hoped that this will fix it again but no..

Now I'm stuck and i can't plat DVD games anymore on my PC...

Anyone out there who can give me some advise please???

Many thanks and best regards.

TonyM.

PLEASE HELP
ANYONE HERE????....

If you removed DTools and SPTD, then they can no longer have any affect on your system, though I doubt they ever actually caused any problems in the first place. Many other people have used DTools for years and never encountered the problem you're describing. I'd help you if I could, but since I have no clue what could have caused your issue in the first place, I wouldn't know where to start.

yep
same thing happend for me.
ive tried to delete every trace of daemon tools.
and games still dont work.
its ridiculous.

I deleted

tried to delete

Install/reinstall the latest DT & then JUST use the UNISTALL, that's what it's there for.. Don't DELETE anything manually... Probably you could use YASU, just place it in the DT installation directory, launch it & use cloak:



ps.



...let us know if it works.

[JJFLIP182]

i reinstalled and then unistalled. The game still does not work.
What is Wasu?

@JJFLIP182
Which game(s) ?
Which error meassage do you get ?

Have you also uninstalled SPTD driver ?
Run SPTD Installer and choose Uninstall.

My brother had that problem on his dell laptop. He couldnt fix it until he did a complete system recovery.

JJFLIP182, the newest YASU is here.

If you strugle using Yasu you can go to the curecom and yasu support section also you can try a system restore(which you can find Start-> control panel->performance and maintenance -> sytem restore) on the date DT was installed(windows automatically creates one before theSPTD driver is installed).
