Yesterday I downloaded MagicDisc so I can play this game on virtual drive. Since the installation of MagicDisc, my computer freezes when I insert a disc [regardless which type].

My CD Drive works perfectly though. I rebooted my computer in safe mode and my computer did not freeze when I insert a disc. In fact it can read everything in the disc, whereas in normal mode, my computer would freeze the second I press another button once I insert a disc.

I have already tried:

- Uninstalling MagicDisc and
- Uninstalling my CD Drive and have my computer re-installing it

Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Keep in mind, my BENQ CD/DVD+R Drive has not failed me in 5 years, until now...

have you tried system restore to restore to a point in time before you installed magicdisk?

That is a very good idea.
Unfortunately, my system restore is off...

...and that's bad idea.
Did you turn it on already?

One of these may help:
1. Uninstall the drive through Device Manager.
Restart computer. The drive will be automatically reinstalled.
or...
2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
Restart computer.
or...
3. Download, and run Restore Missing CD Drive patch
Double click on cdgone.zip to unzip it.
Right click on cdgone.reg, click Merge.
Accept registry merge.
Restart computer.
or...
4. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:
- ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
- ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
Right click on each of them, and click Uninstall. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.
