Problem with Nero InfoTool

[kappa47]

I had Nero InfoTool 1.02 installed and running great on my system. I flashed my LiteOn 40x12x48 then upgraded to the latest version of Nero 5.5.10. I then went to run InfoTool and now it won't run. It flashes briefly on the screen then disappears, or nothing happens. I tried installing the latest version of InfoTool 1.03.3 and still no luck! Can anybody suggest how I can get InfoTool to function properly again??? I have since upgraded to the LiteON 52x24x52, and I am running Windows XP Home w/SP1.

The InfoTool Text Notepad created when I click on InfoTool only produces this:
"Nero InfoTool log file
Please don't modify this file if you want to send it for troubleshooting!

Retrieving Drive Information"

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

The latest InfoTool crashes my computer for some reason. WinXP Pro with SP1.

Do you have CloneCD installed with the virtual Drive? I just installed it and it caused InfoTool to do exactly what it's doing for you. Uninstall CloneCD's Virtual Drive and try it...

I disabled the virtual drive and unchecked the virtual sheep and it works like a charm! Thanks so much for your help! What was the function of the virtual drive/sheep anyway?? Thanks again!

Just as an FYI, Nero includes a virtual drive feature as well. It is called, surprisingly enough, Nero Image Drive. I don't think it is quite as versatile as the ones included with CloneCD or daemontools, but it does allow you to mount at least one image written in Nero's .nrg format.
