VCD won't work with Windows 8 CP x64

[mfp]

Any updates to this?

I'm seeing exactly the same. Blue screen on Windows 8 RTM - when I mount an ISO stored on a NAS with Virtual Clone Drive. If the ISO is local, it works like a charm.

On Windows 7 this worked.

I have same problem. ISO on NAS, Windows 8 Pro RTM. BSOD.

Please provide an updated version of VCD that is compatible with Windows 8.

But other than SlySoft distributing CloneDVD & VCD (and using its drivers), Elby is pretty much dead. Would VCD have ever been updated for BD ISOs if not for AnyDVD HD users needing that feature to get around (a) commercial software blocking BD HDD rips and (b) conflicts with SPTD in Daemon Tools & Alcohol? I know Elby is still a separate company, but surely the best way to get in touch with what's left of Elby is thru SlySoft. If Elby doesn't fix VCD before Win 8 hits stores, it's a black eye for SlySoft as well as Elby...

I can confirm that VCD does not work on W8 Enterprise when ISO image is on a NAS or a shared server drive. It will Blue Screen and dump/reboot. It will work when on a local drive. By the way Daemon Tools Lite does work like a charm.

Here is the solution to BSOD using VCD in MCE on my Win 8 Pro 64 system. Note that I am not using a NAS, but a DAS connected via USB 3.0, but was experiencing the same BSOD others have discribed.

1. Using file explorer, right click on any drive (doesn't matter if it is local or external) and select "properties"

2. Go to the "Hardware" tab and select an external drive from the list of disk drives shown and click the "Properties" button (bottom right)

3. Click "Change Settings" button (bottom left) - which should open a second window

4. In the window which just opened, select the "Policies" tab

5. On the Policies tab you should have two removal policy options 1) Quick Removal (default policy) and 2) Better Performance. Check the "Better Perfomance" option. For me, not having write caching turned on was the cause of my BSOD with VCD.

I ran a couple of tests where I turned write caching on and off. When off would get BSOD; when on eveything worked great.

Hope this helps

Your second sentence says it all. You did this on a DAS not a NAS. This would not work on a NAS. you can not alter the properties of a networked drive.

I'm having the same exact issue when mounting an .iso file from my NAS with VCD. (Had no issues prior to upgrading to Win8 Pro).

I'm getting the blue screen countdown screen every single time I attempt to mount any file from a Network location. I've spent endless hours trying every possible work around I could think of but it's been useless.

All of this started happening right after the Windows 8 Upgrade. I've got VCD Version 5.4.5.0 installed.

There currently is no way to do this on a networked Las. The isos need to be mounted locally to avoid the bsod

This is not true. Daemon Tools Lite has been updated to support Windows 8, and it works absolutely fine when streaming ISOs from a NAS.

It's only with VCD that Windows 8 crashes in this situation.
