Hi there
Daemon tools like a lot of other programs have passed their Sell by date.

If you want a FOOL PROOF FREE Virtual Disk mounter (and it will also mount Nero NRG images as well as the usial ISO etc formats) try the FREE version of Alcohol 52% free edition -- this will allow you to have up to 6 Virtual drives mounted.

Works a treat on W7 X64 too

Alcohol 52% Free Edition 1.9.5.4327.FE - Free Download

Sometimes it really is time to abandon older software

Alcohol 52% comes with is free but comes with the Protection Database Search Toolbar. There is no option to unselect it during install, but it can be uninstalled after installing.

Alcohol Toolbar

Hi there
I don't know what sites you get redirected to in India but I'VE NEVER had this problem.

I NEVER INSTALL TOOLBARS OF ANY KIND BTW -- they are all irritants on a browser in the first place imo.

The fact you are downloading something that even says TRIAL in it tells me that this isn't the same download that I used.

I'm at work now so not at my home PC but I'll post a screenshot of Alcohol52% later when I can get to one of my private PC's.

No probs of any kind.

Cheers

The first link is the official Alcohol Soft site. They have two versions of Alcohol 52% for download.
1. A free version of Alcohol 52% with the toolbar.
2. A 15 day trial of Alcohol 52% without the toolbar.


The version (2.0.1.2033.FE) is different from the one you posted (1.9.5.4327.FE)

This topic is 2 years old, back when DAEMON didn't have a version working with Windows 7. That has been fixed though.

That is questionable.

I haven't because I don't use it. But I have seen BSODs where uninstalling the newest SPTD driver solved the problem. On the other hand, I have never encountered a BSOD caused by MagicDisc which does not use the SPTD.sys driver. Daemon and Alcohol both use the SPTD driver.

You've run into problems with DAEMON?

I've had quite a few BSOD's with Daemon. Fixed by uninstalling it.
Using Virtual CloneDrive now :)

Wow, why the heck am I the only one who doesn't have software problems? DAEMON worked (and still works) for me, Vista worked for me, IE worked for me, Norton worked for me, etc...

Guess you are just lucky
