I built the PC below just two weeks ago, anyway this weekend I decided I wanted to mount some CD images.
I had daemon tools on my old machine and have used it for a while now, but to my complete surprise when I installed the program on my new machine the install finished and my PC blue screened and re-booted! Fine I thought, let it re-boot then see what happens, once back in windows the xp auto hardware finder popped up trying to install the DVD drive daemon sets up on your pc, then I got into the situation where my PC just kept blue screening and re-booting.
It was very hot on Saturday so I left my machine off for a while to see if that was the reason, but after trying again in the evening when things were a little colder, no change; boot – blue screen – re-boot
So I stuck in my windows xp cd and re-built my machine, it now works fine. In fact I have re-built my machine twice as after the first time I was unsure if it was software or my PC was too hot and/or a hardware issue, therefore tried installing the software again.
So am certainly not going to install the program again, I just wondered if anyone could shed light on this? Or have had similar experiences.
Finally does anyone know of any other similar image mounting software that will not kill my system!? Lol
Much appreciated
