Hey guys! Under Windows 2000, whenever I try to load a image file in the virtual CD drive, I get this error message:

"Image file could not be opened by miniport in kernel mode"

What does that mean? Is there any way I can correct the error? Since I have not updated Windows 2000 to SP4 yet, will the service pack address this issue?

Download it and try

"GOOOOOOOOOOO BLACKPEOPLE"

Windows 2k SP4 didn't solve my problem. What's worse is, I seem to be able to load images from a USB flash drive, but I can't load them directly from my hard drive... what's the problem with W2k and Alcohol 120%?

What is Alcohol 120% and why are you using it?

Alcohol 120% is a CD emulation program... for backing up CDs to HDD using CD images... I was using the Virtual CD emulation feature, and every time I try to load an image, it comes up with the same error. Like I said, this error only appears when I try to load an image directly from my harddrive...

Have you tried updating this software? Is there a support website for this product? If so, see if you find a forum or customer support that might be able to solve your issue, I am not fimiliar with this program so unfortunately I cannot be a big help.

Its possible that its conflicting with any other back up device you may have. such as Nero/ Roxio etc

Have you unistalled the program and re-installed it?

I'll try updating the software, don't know if it could be much use, though, as this is a problem I believe exists across Windows 2000. As for Nero and Roxio, I HATE ROXIO, and Nero I just installed, but the problem appeared even before the installation of Nero. I went to the alcohol support forum, but some stupid *** had his post closed before he was even able to get his question answered. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME?

Alcohol 120% sucks... I have made disc images with Nero and enabled "No CD needed" play with Daemon Tools... Keep in mind, I own the origional CD games

Well, I got the problem fixed. Turns out there was a problem with Alcohol 120% 1.9.5.3105 miniport driver running on Win2000. The fix was to simply upgrade the software. Unlike you, I spend time on "useless junk".
