Vista 5308 reinitializes automatically after install Alcohol 120%

[Daniel Alvarez]

Hi, yesterday I installed in a clean partition, Windows Vista 5308. I
suppose I have a current hardware to run it (Sempron 2800, 1.5 GB RAM,
partition 60Gb to install it, GeForce 6600 128Mb), so I began doing it.
After one hour, I got my installation up and running.
I created some users to log on. I've installed the sound and modem drivers
from the original CD's which came with my hardware. (Yes, dial up modem).
Then I configured the internet connection, any trouble at all, updated the
malware software (I didn't install an antivirus).
So far, the PC was working great, so I decided to install some programs I
use. I started by Alcohol 120%, for making CD/DVD images.
I installed the software, but when it installed the virtual drive, the PC
automatically shut down and restarted.
Now, every time I logon (normal way and safe mode), I gets restarted
automatically.
Anyone knows how to solve this? I wouldn'd like to reinstall everything
again...

Thank you very much!!!

Sounds like a driver compatibility issue. There is no way to get into the
OS, so reinstall sounds like the best idea.

Vista seems to have trouble with virtual drives (see the discussions about
activation), and Alcohol installs the driver for one. One of the problems
with the NT platform, and now Vista, is that unlike the DOS-based systems
you can't individually allow or block each driver's loading. Maybe this
could be a new startup feature, add a "controlled" mode to safe and normal
modes.
