Yes But They All Seem To Be *.CAB Files..!

Use http://sta.c64.org/winprg.html#i5comp (I5COMP) and http://sta.c64.org/winprg.html#i6comp (I6COMP) for managing CAB files around and ORCA (search on this forum, Altavista, Google or www.microsoft.com for a download URL) for managing MSI files around. Good luck,

Joe

Send a message via ICQ to tbaher
under the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi
find the demontools scsi port key (it will be SCSI Port 0, or 1 or 2, for me it is 3)
Under permissions deny administrator access for "read".
this will make demontools invisible to securom and stop it from making the error msg "Emulation detected .. ARGH" and locking up demon tools

Hope this helps cause I hope I don't have to post this again

or altenative with a hexeditor.
Go to your Windows folder and search for daemon.dll
Rename it into zaemon.dll or similar. But the number of the letters must be eqal.
Then go to the installationfolder of daemon tools. open daemon.exe with a hexedtior and search for daemon.dll. Change it into zaemon.dll and save.

Hi mojo8850,

I kind of guessed you'd have a problem with those tools, nevertheless, I answered your question. It's not easy-to-use tools that make you a professional hacker, you know...

Joe
