Upgraded to 64-bit XP, need virtual CD/DVD drive

Hi, f0dder!
Why donĀ“t you try Daemon-Tools V4.10 X64? :D (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5) I cannot remember that the adware has been a problem - even if I tried to install it.
f0dder:
Crush: it seems that the adware is only installed if you choose to, but I try to steer clear of things that come with adware. Also, d-t has a bunch of code for avoiding game copy protections, I don't really need that and would rather use a product that doesn't have it...
So far MagicISO/MagicDisc seems to fit the bill, comes without spyware, doesn't have anti-protection stuff, and is freeware. Don't see much reason for d-t x64, although that might change if MagicDisc turns out to be buggy when put to more use... don't think so, though.

What I meant by this is that I can't see why Alcohol wouldn't have 64-bit drivers, considering how popular it is.

Alcohol does have 64-bit drivers.
One drawback to Alcohol is that it has an aggressive activation scheme that requires re-activation even after very minor system changes. I think that it also requires continual Internet access (it deactivates if it hasn't had an opportunity to check-in within the past few weeks or so) - but I may be confusing this with Daemon Tools Pro which definitely does this.

That is something QUITE ironic
