  • ONE MOMENT IT WORKED , NOW IT DOSNT ?????

    Hi
    made back up images of educational software i own , all use to work fine with dt , but now i keep getting asked for the cd ??? on 4 of them , the other one , tries to laod and giveds the error = macromedia flash has a problem and has to close , the other 2 work fine ??
    i apologise for the lack of info but if you tell me what info you need to solve this i will get it for you
    the only thing i can see that looks like it a protection thing is SECDRV ??
    THANK YOU :idea:

    Secdrv.sys is Macrovision = SafeDisc driver.
    Try to change Vendor and Model names of virtual devices to non-standard names, also try to un-install Daemon Tools and re-install with non-default driver names, if renaming of virtual devices does not help.

        Right-click on Daemon Tools tray icon -> Virtual CD/DVD-ROM -> select the drive to change -> Set device parameters -> change Vendor and Model names.

            there IS software that runs without the cd for some time, then ask for it once in a while. in case your images aren't good it might be the first time you run into the cd-check and now it does not work.

              Did you try to un-install Daemon Tools and re-install with non-default driver names then? And if it still fails, also try to use non-standard Vendor and Model names again.

                  Btw what exactly happens - "did not work"? Do you get some error message?

                    Hi
                    no error messages , only pop up asking to insert the cd , only one , image comes up with a error, it's loading screen comes up and then dissapears to be replaced with the windows xp box opens up with " macromedia projector , has a problem , and needs to close , usuall error reporting box !

                      some mounted images (or programs requiring a CD/DVD) don't work anymore

                      It looks like just a normal crashed application. I bet you will have the same problem with the original CD.

                              Does the program crash when using the original CD?
