Virtual Drive Issue

I have reported this before but not pursue it too much here. I use another drive emulator which works perfectly. But I don't like computers to win!

The problem is that when I mount an image file, a drive letter is not given, and unmounting the image a) does not clear it from the wizard and b) a second attempt causes a BSOD crash. There are no other issues with my Win 7 x64 installation regarding drive letters or partition management.

The virtual drive does work on other windows setups so something strange is going on. I have searched for similar issues and turned up nothing. I am using the latest drivers, viz SPTDinst-v183-x64.

Any ideas?

Regards

DrT

I have not got a hope in hell of tracking this down as everything else works fine. I can create drive letters without issue too.

The only hope would be if somebody else were familiar with this. Will 2013 deal with the virtual drive feature identically or will it have been modified in some way?

After reading some other posts about issues being fixed by an uninstall and then a reinstall, I gave it a go and it's fixed. UPDATE:-only fixed for one go. Does the uninstall clear out all the registry settings? If not, howcan I start from a default install?

Thanks
