My iso files not starting

I just tweaked my new game laptop hard drive. I guess I've tweaked it a little too much and now when I try to start a .iso file with vitualClone program nothing happens. I would appreciate if someone can tell me what part of windows service controls the starting of this feature? I'm wondering itf I had not turned it off by mistake. Thanks.

 

well u can go to regedit root and find .iso there and make appropriate change and associate it with virtualclone u can also find some registry tweak on net jst
go to this link http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html u might use set default program in controlpanel

 

or right click and choose OPEN WITH and select your virtual clone software and check ALWAYS USE THIS

 

thanks. I tried that already, still did not work. Is there another program I could try? I still think it has something to do with window service...but I'm just guessing.

 

Most of those drive emulation programs have a service that runs in the background.
Did you disable any services that you don't know what they do?

 

daemon tools
magic iso

uninstall the other one first though

ps-hep is correct, too. good call hep

 

I think so...That's why I wanted to know which service controls that aspect of windows?

 

it is a sevice created by virtualdrive, not MS --you would need to have the program to guess

 

Thanks. I will download that and try it, if indeed it is not a service issue. Hope there is a lite version. I have to download it from my other drive because I have a separate drive for my normal work with the computer.

 

Tweaking is waaaaaay overrated, IMHO.

 

Well, since I'm not in the market to buy a brand new gaming computer I will try to do what is possible to get the best performance out of it.

 

Just re-installing the program should restore the service to it's proper function.

So true. Maybe worth it when computers sucked, but 7 second bootup vs 6 second... not worth the time and effort. How do you know you haven't inadvertently caused another problem, OP? I've seen people do tweaks and get a faster bootup for instance, but then have something else take longer (one example would be clearing prefetch data). Just saying... consider the risk vs the possible gains... And always follow the golden rule of computing... if you don't know what it is, deleting/disabling it is not a good solution unless you know how to fix it!

 

what program should I re-install? BTW, I am only tweaking to better performance for playing games otherwise I would just leave it as is.

 

Re-install VirtualClone.


What tweaks have you done to improve gaming performance?

 

Tried that many times before. I've removed the program and installed Daemon instead. It seems to work now. I do not know what was wrong with VirtualClone. It worked before. Strange.
