- Hekko Virtual CD Readme.txt
- ---------------------------
- Hekko Virtual CD creates a virtual cdrom drive on your
- Windows PC. This allows you to make images of your favorite
- CR-Roms and use them without inserting a CD into a
- CD-Rom drive. This not only improves the speed at which
- you can access the data on the disk, but also stops the
- really annoying disk switching that is required every time
- you run a game.
-
-
- Note: This software should not be used to make illegal
- copies of software products.
-
-
- Troubleshooting
- ---------------
- In the case that a software application does not function, try the following:
-
- 1. Make sure that the application was installed from the image and not the CD.
- This is because some applications will only look in the drive where it was
- installed from for the original CD. Thus, even though the image of the
- CD is in the Hekko Virtual Drive, the program still searches the actual
- drive for the CD.
-
- 2. Make sure that the HekkoScan option was selected when making the image.
- When HekkoScan is enabled, the size of the resulting image is larger
- and the scan time is much longer (up to 14 hours or more for some CDs).
-
- 3. Inserting an Image needs to be done via the Hekko UI which is accessible
- from the HVD tray icon (lower left corner of screen). This icon may hide
- some times on windows XP and clicking the '<' button will show it.
