Alcohol 120% Install Problem

[Bluemagneticstorm]

When I installed Alcohol in Vista, the install went fine but it does not seem to be able to get the virtual drive

installed. It showed an error after the install finished, but it has not come up again. Alcohol opens fine and says

there is a drive installed, but on the drive property page it says 0 drives installed, and on the My Computer page

no drive is visible. Any ideas about how to work around this problem?

Try Daemon Tools to see if that works. If the virtual drive works on that and you don't experience any problems, then you know that you'll have to reinstall Alcohol 120% or give the company a call (if it's not a trial version and you purchased it).

Well you're a step ahead of my experence with RC1 (last version i tried virtual drives on) Back then installing Daemon tools/Alcohol 120/insertvirtualSCSIDVD-ROMmakernamehere would lead to a restart followed by windows being massively screwed. If i remember correctly Microsoft said it was a bug related to the blocking of certian drivers and the added drives being SCSI...i think. Anyway it was a PITA and that's why i stopped using RC2, well that and the massive performance hit plus submitting bug reports in the Beta days to see them STILL in RC2 was a good reason for me to think MS wasn't actually listing to the beta testers...(not just the public ones, but thoes of us who they sent invitations back in the day). [/rant about why I wont buy Vista anytime soon (that doesn't mean never or not in the next few months, but whatever).]

 

You can use my solution, wait for more reply here, or head over to the Alcohol forums --> http://forum.alcohol-soft.com/index.php

I used Dtools works perfectly fine on Vista x86. Never tried Alcohol 120%, maybe bc I'm too cheap to buy it lol. Dtools is FREE!!!

I second D-Tools.. but I haven't tried it in 64-bit. I have a feeling we might be getting problems in it.
