Problems when working with Virtual CD as normal user in NT-based systems

Although users with admin rights can work with Virtual CD, normal users can't. This affects NT-based systems (Windows NT4/2000/XP/VistaWindows 7) only.

CAUSE:
The Virtual CD service (Virtual CD v3) or Virtual CD Security Service (Virtual CD v4 and higher) doesn't run or is not installed.

SOLUTION:
Re-install the required service by entering the following command at the DOS prompt or under "Start -> Run":

• Virtual CD v3: %ProgramFiles%\Virtual CD 3\System\vcddriveset.exe /i
• Virtual CD v4: %ProgramFiles%\Virtual CD v4\System\vcdsecs.exe /i
• Virtual CD v5: %ProgramFiles%\HHVcdV5Sys\VC5SecS.exe /i
• Virtual CD v6: %ProgramFiles%\HHVcdV6Sys\VC6SecS.exe /i
• Virtual CD v7: %ProgramFiles%\HHVcdV7Sys\VC7SecS.exe /i
• Virtual CD v8: %ProgramFiles%\Virtual CD v8\System\VC8SecS.exe /i
• Virtual CD v9: %ProgramFiles%\Virtual CD v9\System\VC9SecS.exe /i
• Virtual CD v10: %ProgramFiles%\Virtual CD v10\System\VC10SecS.exe /i

NOTE:
Please be aware that you need administrative rights to install a service!

INFORMATION:
Under NT-based systems the user has to have writing rights on the drive in order to send SCSI-commands. (The problem is Virtual CD specific, since thereby SCSI commands are used. Normally, a special driver or ASPI resp. SPTI is used for a physical CD drive.) The service sets the rights so that as well "normal" users can work with Virtual CD.
