Title: Virtual CD drive?
Post by: Den on Nov 03, 2008, 22:24:02
I want to run a route finder/map program on Vista but the progam I have (Travelmanager UK) needs to run from CD. Anyone know of a good virtual drive program so I can run the CD from the hard drive

There's also SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive (http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html).

I use Daemon Tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5) for virtual drives but it's also something Nero offers.

Downloaded Daemon tools lite and it did not want to know abour running on Vista. It says it installed but would not let me open it from the icon or from programs.  :'( As a thought this is the only Vista program that has failed to load properly so it was quite a shock.  ::)

Den, right click on the icon in the task bar then select the image file to load from there
