Can't Mount an ISO

[IST2012]

Installed DVDFab Virtual Drive 1.1.0.9 on three laptops today. All Dell. Running Win 7 Pro 64-bit, Win 7 Pro 32-bit and Win 7 Starter 32-bit (netbook) 2 out of three work great!

I am having problems on the one running Win 7 Pro 32-bit. When I right click on an ISO file i don't see the option to mount it. But when I right click on the same file on another system I see the Mount option. Any ideas?

Have you restarted the computer after that you installed the program?

[IST2012]

Yes I did restart it. I actually found out my problem.

On the one laptop i was installing it from RemoteDesktop. For some reason i could not mount an ISO through RD but when i logged on locally it worked.

Is there anyway to mount an ISO over remote desktop? I am running windows 7 ultimate 64-bit and am wanting to mount some iso's over remote desktop, anyway to do this with virtual drive?

[Blazkowicz]

You want to mount the remote ISO into local drive?

[FearlessG1]

nope, just needing to mount an iso that is located on the remote system, onto the remote system itself that the iso is actually located on.

[Blazkowicz]

Then normally mount it like you would do it on a local system.

virtual drive isn't giving me any way to mount. When I right click on the ISO, no context menu options show up to mount, also when I right click on virtual drive in the task bar I do not get any mount option in the menu, just settings and number of drives. However everything works fine when I am physically logged onto the computer in person.

This sounds like an issue I am having as well (although nothing to do with RD in my case).

If I use an account with Admin privilidges everything works okay. However, if I use a standard "user" account I am unable to mount images, etc.

There is a thread in the DVD Copy forum about this...

I checked this issue in Windows XP SP3 with Limited user, DVDFab Virtual Drive can mount a DVD image successfully.

What are you calling a Limited user? A "Power User" of "User"? If it's a standard "User" I'd like to know the trick 'cause it doesn't work for me.

@Carob
In windows xp, only has two account type: administrator, limited user, run -> nusermgr.cpl. you're using Vista?

[Carob]

Actually, XP (pro) has several types.
But, the big three are Administrator, Power User and User.

[Blazkowicz]

xubin was talking about simple GUI. When talking about general groups, XP Pro has the following groups:

*Administrators
*Backup Operators
*Debugger Users
*Guests
*HelpServicesGroup
*Network Configuration Operators
*Power Users
*Remote Desktop Users
*Replicator
*Users

That's all well and good but it's a bit off topic.

Nothing comes to mind for anyway why I would not be able to get DVDFab Virtual Drive to mount the iso's, etc. when logged in as a standard user? As mentioned before, it works fine when using an Admin profile.
