    Free version of 1.9.8.7612 doesn't work in Windows 7 RTM yet, but it is supposed to be fixed in the next free release. Otherwise, a solid and stable program, with enough features but not bloated.

    I use this free version. I don't need an image burner in because i use ImageBurn. For me six virtual drives are enough. i don't need spend money.
    Excellent to play my "old and legit games"(NFS IV, V, Starcraft and Warcraft 3) and preserve the CD's and CD drives. I'm retrogamer :D

    Hey echohead, you should really go to the Alcohol 120% page if you want to review that program. I realize this is a cut down version of it but to complain about features this doesn't even have like CD burning is pretty pointless here.

    That aside, I have had none of the problems you are experiencing, everything works just fine.

    -right click shell extension is once again broken on 64-bit XP.
    -icons for files associated with alcohol 120 are broken for some reason.
    -crashes whenever i try to burn a disk image.
    -in this version you are supposed to be able to set a larger buffer - if you have enough RAM. on a 64-bit XP box with 5GB RAM, the maximum buffer was still 256MB. the option for 512MB and 1024MB were not even there.
    -the new "xtra wizard" is a good idea, but it needs work. all the images the xtra wizard use the UDF format, which has always given me problems - after making several different images and burning them to disks, ive ended up with a bunch of coasters.

    under normal circumstances, i really enjoy (and pay for) this program. but all the problems with this version are really unacceptable.

    You alls know something. Gripe at me all you want. I think this program is a good program. You can't beat the price. I have used the previous versions, and liked them. Tried the trial version and hated it.

    Think this version is awesome. The problem I had with the trial version is the nag. Worse then my wife.

    Any how this is a supperb program.
