I try this software today.
I download the last version from the website (1.33)
Installation without any problem, only an alert because the drivers isn't signed by Microsoft (Kernsafe don't pay the Microsoft taxe !!
)
Apparently, we don't need to reboot ... (I did it anyway ... to be sure )
No problem to create the disk but I have 3 remarks on the interface:
- As already mentioned, it's not possible to re-size the windows (not a big deal, but ...)
- When you create a new image file for a CD-RW, they could propose some standard size for CD or DVD. Having the possibility to enter another value is good but not noob proof (what is the size of a DVD in Mb ?)
- You can launch the interface several time without any alarm. As it reduce to the tray, and my taskbar is auto-hide, I launch it more than 5 times ... Why, when it start, don't it check if it's already running and then "maximize" from the tray, instead of launching an other copy of itself ?
Write files to the image from Windows Explorer seems to work without problem.
(one good point
)
With CDBurnerXP, the virtual drive is seen, but when I try to burn some file on it, I have an error saying that the disk is "not usable" (even if I already have written some files on it from Explorer)
With my backup tool, the virtual writer is not recognized !! (shame, this was the reason why I install this software
)
An other annoying thing, when you unmount the virtual writer, the letter still appear in Explorer !! and keep the name.
If you mount an other iso file, it's seems to be Ok, but in fact you don't see it's content, but the folders and files of the first one.
example :
I mount an iso file of Linpus (Linux for Netbook). I can view folders and read files. I unmount it and then mount an other iso file of Ubuntu. Then I still see the folders and files of Linpus (when I try to read a file, I have an error if I don't read it previously, otherwise it open without problem). I need to log off / log in to be able to see the content of Ubuntu file
(a problem with refreshing the content of the cache ?!?)
Compared to the previous tests and versions, it seems that they have some improvement but they still have a lot of work to do on it
