Virtual CD-ROM creation impossibility

I have used Original CD Emulator (OCDE), Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel
2.0.1.1 (VCRCP) and All Image to try to create a virtual CD-ROM drive.
All to no avail. I have spent hours upon hours without success. I
have an older Sony and an new Plextor DVD-ROM drive.

With OCDE and VCRCP, I can read and write images from and to my DVD-ROM
drives. Not with All Image -- it "sees" all my drives ... except the
two ROMs.

I can rip and burn music from and to the drives. But not create a
virtual CD-ROM drive. In OCDE, the drive icon that is supposed to show
up, the one onto which you drag, for instance, an ISO file, never shows
up.

I have come to the conclusion that there must be something wrong with
my Windows settings (although it is only an unitelligent guess). I do
not know if, when creating a virtual drive, the emulators must "see" a
real drive. If that is the case, perhaps they do not see the drives in
the way they need for emulation.

I am at my wits' end. I cannot find any solutions on the net, neither
any discussion lists of substance on the matter, and I therefore ask if
anyone here has any clue as to what can be wrong.

I have XP Home and a Dell Dim TPS T700r, and the DVD-ROM drives are
Sony DRU-500AX and Plextor DVDR PX-740A.

Regards,

Hans L

I have now used the two apps above, Shenan, and while I see

Device 0: [K] D:\ ---\xxx.iso

in Daemon Tool, Virtual CD/DVD ROM, there is no K drive in My Computer
or anywhere else (even after restart of the computer).

So, it seems that the virtual drive K is created, but does not show.
Any idea whatsoever what the problem can be?

SUCCESS!!! I installed TweakUI for XP (which I had uninstalled earlier
and forgotten to reinstall). I went to My Computer/Drives, and checked
drive K, and voila, virtual drive K shows up everywhere it should show
up.

I had no idea about this -- it was just a desperate try (along with
umpteen other deperate tries).

Does anyone know where the corresponding setting (the TweakIU checkbox)
is in Windows?

By the way, I'm sure you know (but other might not) that Daemon comes
with two adwares, namely VVSN.exe and one more (Adware.Savenow?). They
were pickud up by Norton Antivirus and Spybot.
