Silly me installed this so I could get some games working on my NC10, never worked, so uninstalled it, now it has ruined Windows 7
Everytime I boot it wants to install the virtual drive, even though I have installed it, this of course is listed in my computer but doesn't work.
Bad thing is it has stopped me acessing any of my drive partitions, so cant use explorer at all now, soon as I do the progress bar just keeps going up and thats it.
Have tried unlocker it will install but not open.
Has anyone got any idea's or is my Win 7 clobbered meaning re-install jobbie.
Can use IE8 no problem, its just the rest of it.
 
Had to re-install in the end, no programs would fix it, didn't matter what I did MagicISO still installed the virtual drive on startup, thus making it impossible to access my other drives.
So message to all do not install MagicISO in Windows 7.
 
i put a warning about this in the beta thread somewhere :p . i didnt have to reinstall though i just had to remove magiciso and any processes that should have been starting up with windows
 
It was the virtual DVD part of it was the problem.
I never had much stuff on my install, so was not a biggie.
All sorted in an hour. All this hassle just to make an ISO of Age of Mythology so I could play on my NC10
 
Could you have not used System Internals and removed the registry entry that loaded up MagicISO? Or even MSCONFIG?

Or was it preventing you from accessing the run command.
 
Did try programs to get rid of reg entry, something was doing it, spent a lot of time trying but gave up in the end, Win 7 back up and running now, so no drama, did have the standard XP install to fall back on, handy I kept it really, nearly did a fresh install and got rid of it.
 
Using PowerISO now, just tried it because it was free, a little mistake, but not the end of the world.
