Your problem is caused by a buggy filter driver. Please read this post: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=517
Thought about it. Drag-n-drop won’t work through UAC. A non-privileged application (e.g. Explorer) cannot send a message to a privilleged application (WinCDEmu mounter). WinCDEmu mounter cannot remain unprivilleged, as it needs to install and access the kernel driver.
As for the other features, I’ll see what I can do, but it won’t be very soon, as I don’t currently have much time to spend on the project.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback.I believe you have some buggy CDROM class filters. Search for GearASPIWdm on this forum. If you do not find a solution, please post again.
The incompatibility caused by GearASPIWdm is a known issue. If you prefer calling WinCDEmu buggy rather than searching the forum for a solution, it is your choice.
To remove the “Select drive letter & mount” prompt, please go to the HKCR.iso key, look up the default value there (e.g. BazisVirtualCD.Iso), then go to HKCR{value from .iso}shell and remove the “Select drive letter && mount” subkey.You can remove any unusable program, as well as any usable program by using “add/remove programs” applet in the Control Panel.
Additionally, I would recommend checking for buggy 3rd-party CDROM filter drivers (search this forum for GearASPIWdm). They might be the reason of WinCDEmu being unusable on your machine.Did you select “never install non-WHQL-signed drivers” in your system settings?
WinCDEmu now has a signed kernel-mode driver, but it was obviously not WHQL-certified.Done. Check out the beta here: http://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/portable
If you can find a detailed description for those formats, I will consider supporting them. Otherwise, analyzing an unknown binary format is quite a hassle and is questionable unless the format is really popular. You can also provide your own implementation based on WinCDEmu format driver interface, so I will include it in future versions of WinCDEmu.
I guess, you can use devcon or other Microsoft tools to cleanup drive information as well. Anyway, do such leftovers cause any real inconvenience to anyone? Windows is designed to keep history of all previously connected devices, this information does not occupy any considerable amount of your disk space or RAM and does not slow your system…
These ‘leftovers’ is the way Windows stores the information about devices. Any USB flash drive will leave exactly the same “leftovers” in any system. I would NOT recommend deleting these keys manually, as it can damage some internal dependencies maintained by Windows.
Is the device shown in the Device Manager? And in the “drive management” under “my computer -> manage”?
This is related to poorly designed CDROM filters provided by 3rd-party software. Please search for GearASPIWdm on this forum.
OK. You might be having the problem related to the CDROM filters. Please do a search for GearASPIWdm in this forum and read the problems others had and the solutions they used. If you still have problems, you’re welcome to post here (please create a separate topic, though).
