 Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 1:51 am Post subject: Annoying problem with Daemon Tools |
 |
|
Every time I install Daemon Tools after about two days or so I get this message when I try to open it:
This is bugging the hell out of me since I don't know why this is happening. I have tried installing various versions of Daemon Tools but the same thing happens. It won't let me open the program when this message pops up and I can't even uninstall the program. In order to uninstall it I have to get the program, reinstall it, then uninstall it after reinstalling it. I also have the same problem with Alcohol. After about 2 days or so it won't let me mount images anymore. I don't know if this is related or not but DVDShrink also becomes corrupted and won't open after a couple days as well. All the rest of the software on my computer works flawlessly though.
Does someone have a solution to this problem? Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.

| What OS are you on? I'm not sure Daemon Tools works with anything under XP or 2000.. |

Windows XP Pro SP3.
Daemon Tools is essential to me so I hope I can sort out this problem. It could be a incompatibility problem with Windows XP SP3 but I doubt it since nothing much has changed in SP3. I'm trying to remember if I had this same problem when I was running SP2... |

I'm actually starting to think that when I was using Windows XP Professional SP2 (which was very briefly) on this computer I don't think I had any problems with Daemon tools.
If you are using Windows XP Professional SP3 let me know if you have this same problem with Daemon Tools. Thanks. |

| It's service pack 3. It's known to cause all sorts of problems with software. |

Have you tried Daemon Tools out yet with SP3? |

I don't personally use that programme, but I'm a member of a lot of beta forums, as is the BF. Half the programmes people use don't work at all with SP3, thankyouverymuchMicroshaft!
Your best bet is to uninstall the pack and wait a few months. Or don't even bother upgrading... |

All of my software is working flawlessly with SP3 installed except for image-mounting software (Daemon Tools, Alcohol, etc.) and DVDShrink. |

I would also uninstall the sp3 and go back to sp2 for a few months. Microsoft probably rushed it and included a few bugs. And knowing Microsoft it will take about a month or two.

I'll test d-tools when I get home and let you know if I run into that problem

nope, no problems.
I'd suggest doing a clean uninstall, manually. There's info about it in the site.
