Thanks, this is apreciated very much indeed

There are issues like Tages emulation not working, but i understand.

This is excellent news!

I'm not able to get it to install properly but its almost certainly due to all the different things I tried before to make the earlier versions work.

I will have to retrace my steps (mostly in the registry as I cant remember the keys) to try and get it working properly

mmm ive encountered a very strange issue.

I know is preliminar the support, so is really easy to screw things up playing with this...

But a severe issue ive found is, if the sptd is installed when i do an update install(build update) it will be completely screw up the driver. DT was installed and now it says that it has not sptd installed, to i went to reinstall 1.58, when i first launched it told me it cant get the current status of the driver, i recomend me to disabled it and restart (i answer it yes), after a restart, it told me that i have no sptd installed, so i installed it again, but im getting the same loop that it was in the 1.56 ones, install, reboot, no driver installed, etc forever, so basicly, i cant reinstall 1.58 and the last version of DT pro hangs at unistall.

Not a SPTD bug; Windows upgrade killed it and it is known a Windows upgrade can cause such things.

You known if there is any way to fix it without doing a clean install?

[Digger]

Remove SPTD manually:

Then delete the installation folders of Daemon Tools, and ensure you reboot before re-installation.

Thanks, that worked perfectly.

Well, the only issue i have found with windows 7 is that Tages Protection is not working:

X3:TC on Windows 7:
-Original DVD inserted: OK
-Tages-Image mounted on DP pro or DT lite with SPTD 1.58: Insert Original Disc!

X3:TC on Vista:
-Original DVD inserted: OK
-Tages-Image mounted on DP pro or DT lite with SPTD 1.56: OK

Both on 32/64 bits.

I need to try with 1.58 on Vista but... i dont want to screw up anything.

Install latest Tages drivers from their site (www.tagesprotection.com).
