Q:

Why Daemon-Tools and DaemonUI?

A:

Reasons for Daemon-Tools
- You don't need to take the original-CDs when you like to play some games when you're on the way.
- The (own) children cannot destroy the CDs
- Even unperfect copies (images) with securom/safedisk/laerlok can be used (even CloneCD works not everywhere)
- If you need a lot of CDs alternating, you save the money for a 2nd, 3rd, .. CDROM
- You are able to use images over a network in most cases.
- Improved speed
- With multi operating system environments you don't have to install some CD's completely
  On Win98, WinNT, Win2000 -> 3*(3 CDs) á 650 MB results in a very nice space saving with a basic installation of 300 MB insteas of approx. 1800 MB. 

Reasons for DaemonUI:
- Easy to mount and unmount
- You can write scripts that perform special tasks like:
   * Execute programs before and after mounting images
   * Change screen resolution (required for some games)
   * Simultaneous mounting of multiple images on multiple devices (up to 4)
   * You can enable and disable emulations as needed.

Q:

Whats the reason for Message "DAEMON.DLL not found!" when DaemonUI starts.

A:

There are two possible reasons for this:

 

1. The Daemon-Tools-Software (2.41 or newer) is not installed
-> Install Daemon-Tools-Software (get it)
2. The Daemon.DLL is locked (e.g. by daemon.exe)
-> You have to disable the LockDll and AutoLock option of daemon.exe (daemon-tools-icon in system tray).
 Then DaemonUI should be runnable. (Then use the LockDll/AutoLock option of DaemonUI/Settings)

Anytime I klick on the DaemonUI-Tray Icon it takes lots of seconds until DaemonUI responds.

NERO's .NRG Format is not displayed in Image List selector.

Q:

My Scripts generated by version DaemonUI 1.70 don't work (error 1001 is dislpayed)

A:

There is a bug when saving a script from the script generator: newlines (CR LF ) are always saved as (CR CR LF).
Workaround: open the script in notepad remove and readd all newlines and overwrite the existing file.
(for each line: goto the end, press delete, press return
goto the end of the last line, press delete at least two times)
