i would like to report that Daemon Tools 4.30.4 no longer works with my new build 7600.

i upgraded from build 7232, and the compatability wizard warned me that this software wouldn't work after the upgrade, and it was right!

i am happy to report that ultraISO still works and is able to mount virtual drives.

thank you very much Brink for this most valuable resource - we appreciate the time and effort you put into maintaining this thread.

Very glad to see Opera on the list.

i would like to modify this post to say that daemon tools will work in build 7600 if you use regedit to delete Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\sptd before installing.

many thanks to forum member sven for pointing this out in another thread.
