I have search the forum but no one solve the previous one.

I installed the lastest trial version into my laptop
The first run already freeze my windows and I had to force shutdown by holding the power button(not good)
uninstalled it, reboot, install again
2nd run, freeze as well

search the forum, trying the SDTP (mis-spell?) the standalone installation

Uninstalled it, reboot, install it again
then reinstall the alcohol
same freeze

My laptop only had a CDROM in there, I just wanna use alcohol to mount image.
Daemon did the job b4 I reinstall the windows
But i found alcohol had a better interface.

Anyone?

If you can't solve this problem perhaps you'll have to wait for the next version of Alcohol which may have it solved. I also have a problem with Alcohol on a P3 desktop computer( thought I haven't tested the new version on it yet), perhaps it has something to do with the P3 proccessor.

The only older version available is 1.9.5.3105 (which is now mainly used by Win9x/ME).

If you have any other virtual drive programs or burning applications installed, remove those and try to install Alcohol. Also disable your virus checker on that first run.

Zamiel, he may meen a previous version with SPTD( 1.9.6.4629?).

@Guest

You can use the Windows System Restore function to revert to the previous version that you had installed, it will be fully operational. That's what I did on my desktop because of the problems that I had with Alcohol 1.9.6.4629( however the new version 1.9.6.4719 has solved them).

I forgot which version of alcohol i used before

but i had turned off the system restore since its useless and too danger for any virus.

anyway, I have give up and wait for next version (maybe)

Figured out your problem cause it also happened with me. Install the new version and when it say its "applying virtual drive settings", open up the task manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) and kill the alcohol process. Then reopen alcohol 120 again. Click on the virtual drive link on the left side. Set the # of virtual drives you want (I only needed 1). Press OK and it will reapply the settings real quick and you now have your virtual drive. Hopefully that will help you out.
