Virtual Drive Deluxe 7.0

I bought this program from Amazon and I can't play my games while mounting a "Fake" cd into the virtual drive. I have this problem with my CD and I don't have the money to buy a new one. Anyway I barrowed a CD-om from my friend and created a Image using this program. Just like it says: Play any game from CD-ROM at hard drive speed. And it did't work it say insert your original cd and not a backup cd. What do I do wrong I don't get it. Please help me with this problem. I feel tricked about this program it does not fullfill what it said it would. Please E-mail me if you know where the problem is. I have tried "Intelligt copy" and "ordinary copy" and it still don't work.

works on some games but not all games.still recondmend it for older games so you dont have to look around for the disc

I installed Virtual Drive 7 about two weeks ago. Since then I've created "virtual disks" for the following games: Will Rock, Microsoft Train Simulator, Diablo II, Adventure Pinball, Unreal Tournament 2003, and Call of Duty. Everything works fine. I don't need to switch CDs anymore, and I can even see a performance boost in some of these games. I have no idea why people might be having trouble with this software because it works fine for me. I'd give it a 5 star rating, but I decided to take a star away just in case other people might have trouble with it. I recommend Virtual Drive 7 to anybody who hates hunting down CDs. Just make sure to check the return policy.

I love VirtualDrive

I intended to buy this but searching around the net found other products that seem to be able to handle DVD much better than this. On their updated web site Farstone show a 7.1 version that may be better than this 7.0 but if you had bought this 7.0 version they would want additional money to upgrade. I sent messages to all their listed email addresses on their web site asking for further information but all the messages were bounced back as undeliverable. This did not seem to augur well for future support for the product. I wound up canceling my order.

I bought several copies of the OEM VD7Dlxe from a reputable seller in Vancouver, BC, Canada and when they arrived they all had the same serial number. I returned them and bought others from an online seller in Oklahoma. They were "identical" to the ones from Vancouver. I contacted Farstone several times including phoning the Head Office. They were very closed mouthed when I insisted that each disk should have a separate serial number. I don't remember where I got all the following information... some here, some there, some speculation.VD7Dlxe OEM is identical to the VD7Dlxe (or Personal) version download from Farstone. It is a single user license which is enforced by using the same serial number for all installations. If more than one installation detect each other on a network then all but one will disable themselves. This is to keep multiple installations on networks from being possible without purchasing the Network Version. I do not know if VDP7 will operate in this manner if say... you are... online gaming with someone who has the same VDP7 on their computer??? This might explain some of the "stops working" problems.I do not know where the disabling item would be. It could be an altered file or a registry entry. If you completely uninstall, including all registry entries and deleting all residual Farstone Files & Folders, then re-install your VDP7 should work. To achieve a complete purge including the registry you may need to wait until you do a format and restore of your hard drive. I used Norton CleanSweep to track a re-install and then to uninstall but that may have just been 'dumb luck' when it worked.I have three versions of Virtual Drive up to VDPro8. I do not play network games so have had no significant problems. Farstone offers Upgrade pricing to previous users which might be worth looking into if you have a burner and can make a CD backup of your new program download. Another option is to try the network version of the software.

I purchased this to be able to copy my training videos like CBT Nuggets directly to my laptops HD and not have to have the CD installed risking scratches or loss of these important training videos while working on my studies for MCSE and CCNA.For this, they work extremly well and I'm impressed with the performance of this product which I really didn't expect to work this well.

I bought this program to run my daughters games so she wouldn't scratch her cd's. This is Awesome...It works Great...All the games I loaded run fine. After reading others reviews I guess it's just in what you're trying to load. For a parent who wants to save $$$ and not replace cd's this works great for my house!!
