"Add IDE Virtual Drive" is grayed out

[Tenderloin]

I just purchased and installed Daemon-Tools Pro Advanced v4.10.0216.0.
I cannot add a virtual IDE drive - the option is grayed out... Why could that be?
The OS is Windows XP Professional SP2 32bit.

Did you start virtual IDE controller in Virtual Device manager? It is not running by default.

Ahh... That fixed it. Thanks.

Not so very obvious that you have to enable it first.

Maybe it would be an idea not to gray-out the option. Instead ask the user if he would like to enable the IDE-controller when he clicks "Add IDE virtual drive".

When I open Virtual Device Manager ther is NO virtual IDE controller...only virtual SCSI controller...and I also cannot load bin files even though I have them marked on....I am also running the version 4.35 and with Windows XP Pro SP3
