Virtual CD Hide won't unhide

[Nomad4]

thanks for the post, but no, of course it doesn't help. My issue is not with Daemon tools not working ( reinstalled it, duh ) but with the fact that this program has so throroughly ****ed up my registry that I'm going to have to reinstall windows in order to get my cdr/dvdr working again.

Delete the CD/DVD-ROM devices from your system in Device Manager, reboot and have the devices re-detected. You might try unplugging the physical devices (that means two reboots: first without the devices, then with them again) so that there's a moment when both all the registry entries and the physical devices are not present in the system. Good luck!

yeah I've done that too. What I really want to know is what exactly has changed in my registry.

@Nomad4
Unlike Antiblaxx 1.16, Virtual CD Hide can't delete registry entries, but only hide them. The changed 'rights management' will be restored on next reboot (Virtual CD Hide isn't capable of hiding pyhsical drives).
Furthermore i know there isn't any message implemented in Virtual CD Hide that says it would "unhide your devices after restart".
