--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info:

This is an advanced application for multiprotection emulation.
DAEMON Tools is further development of Generic Safedisc emulator and
incorporates all its features.
This program allows:

1. Running BACKUP copies of SafeDisc (C-Dilla), Securom and Laserlok protected
   games.

2. Mounting CUE, ISO, CCD and BWT image files as virtual CDROM drives. More
   formats may be supported later. Many people ask to include support for
   DiskJuggler format. We have sent mail to Padus and asked for permission to
   include .cdi format in our program - they did not even answer...

It works under Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000 with all types of CDROM drives (IDE/SCSI).
If you are using Windows95 then you must have at least Win 95B (with installed
USB Supplement and Internet Explorer 4 or higher).


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DAEMON Tools INSTALLATION
-------------------------


Installation in Windows 95/98/ME:
---------------------------------
To run DAEMON Tools setup in Windows 95 you MUST have at least Win 95B with
installed USB supplement, Year 2K Patch and/or Internet Explorer 4 or higher!
It is highly recommended you install IE 5 as it isn't only a browser but
updates A LOT of system files. It is either required for full Y2K compatibility
of Win95. You may deinstall IE again if you don't want to use it - the system
update remains!

Installation of DAEMON Tools v2.60 and higher requires the latest version of
Windows Installer (MSI). It is the latest MS installation technology and already
integrated in Windows ME but also available as upgrade for Win 9x.
DAEMON Tools setup will automatically offer to download the latest version for
you if it isn't found on your system.
Alternatively you can download Windows Installer for 9x from the following
location:

Version for all languages (1513 KB):
http://www.daemon-tools.com/Scripts/msia.pl?instmsia.exe

Anyway we recommend to just run DAEMON Tools setup as several newer programs
(e.g. Office 2000, Disc Juggler 3.x) automatically install Windows Installer so
you may already have it installed.

Unzip the DAEMON Tools archive (daemon*.zip) to any temporary folder and run
'setup.exe'. All necessary files will be copied and two new devices will be
installed in your system, the "Virtual DAEMON SCSI Controller" and the
"V386 PHANTOM CDROM".
After setup has finished the 'DAEMON Tools' shortcut is placed on your desktop
and the DAEMON manager icon will appear in the notification area of your
taskbar. Right-click on it to see the popup menu. The 'DAEMON Manager' allows
you to enable or disable Safedisc, Securom and Laserlock emulation. It is also
used to mount and unmount images to DAEMON Tools' virtual PHANTOM CDROM drive,
to set the number of how many PHANTOM CDROMs will be installed (number can be
'0' to '4') and to set several other options. Moreover you use it to access
help menu. A left-click on the icon allows quick mounting/dismounting of
images. Directly after installation Windows assigns the next free drive letter
to the newly installed PHANTOM CDROM drive but after the next reboot Windows
automatically puts it in first place giving it the lowest drive letter of your
current CDROM drive(s). This behaviour is common for ALL SCSI CDROM drives newly
installed to your system, no matter if it is a virtual or physical drive. This
behaviour is NOT special for DAEMON Tools. Anyway if you want to keep your old
CDROM drive letter(s) go to

"Start" --> "Settings" --> "ControlPanel" --> "System" --> "DeviceManger"
--> "CDROM"

then select "V386 PHANTOM CDROM" and click on "Properties". Select "Settings" in
the window coming up and set "Reserved Drive Letters" (First AND Last) to the
desired value (must be HIGHER than ALL letters used at the moment!!!). We suggest
using "V" = Virtual.

If you later change the number of PHANTOM CDROM drives in DAEMON manager you must
refresh hardware settings in Device Manager for Windows 9x to remove/add drive
letters! You may need to run 'Refresh' in Device Manager several times
depending on the number of drives you added! Or you can just reboot to make the
changes visible.


Installation in Windows NT:
---------------------------

The installation of DAEMON Tools v2.60 and higher requires the latest version of
Windows Installer (MSI). It is the latest MS installation technology and
available as upgrade for Win NT.
DAEMON Tools setup will automatically offer to download the latest version for
you if it isn't found on your system.
Alternatively you can download Windows Installer for NT from the following
location:

Version for all languages (1526 KB):
http://www.daemon-tools.com/Scripts/msiw.pl?instmsiw.exe

Anyway we recommend to just run DAEMON Tools setup as several newer programs
(e.g. Office 2000, Disc Juggler 3.x) automatically install Windows Installer so
you may already have it installed.

Unzip the DAEMON Tools archive (daemon*.zip) to any temporary folder and run
'setup.exe'. All necessary files will be copied and two new devices will be
installed in your system, the "Virtual DAEMON SCSI Controller" and the
"V386 PHANTOM CDROM". You will be asked to reboot for changes to take effect.
After reboot the DAEMON manager icon will appear in the notification area of
your taskbar. Right-click on it to see the popup menu. The 'DAEMON Manager'
allows you to enable or disable Safedisc, Securom and Laserlock emulation. It
is also used to mount and unmount images to DAEMON Tools' virtual PHANTOM
CDROM drive, to set the number of how many PHANTOM CDROMs will be installed
(number can be '0' to '4') and to set several other options. Moreover you use
it to access help menu. A left-click on the icon allows quick mounting/
dismounting of images. When the installation has finished and your system has
rebooted you'll notice that Windows has assigned the drive letter of your first
CDROM drive to the newly installed PHANTOM CDROM drive. This behaviour is common
for ALL SCSI CDROM drives newly installed to your system, no matter if it is a
virtual or physical drive. This behaviour is NOT special for DAEMON Tools.
Anyway if you want to keep your old CDROM drive letter(s) make sure you're
logged in with administrative privileges and then go to

"Start"-->"Programs"-->"Administrative Tools (Common)"-->"Disk Administrator".

Right click on the CDROM drive you want to change and select "Assign Drive
Letter". The selected drive letter will be assigned immediately.

Note: You can activate DAEMON manager after install even without reboot, but
Windows NT will assign drive letter for new CDROM ('PHANTOM CDROM') after
reboot only. If it does not bother you, you can use all emulation features
immediately without reboot.


Installation in Windows 2000:
-----------------------------

Unzip the DAEMON Tools archive (daemon*.zip) to any temporary folder and run
'setup.exe'. All necessary files will be copied and two new devices will be
installed in your system, the "Virtual DAEMON SCSI Controller" and the
"V386 PHANTOM CDROM".
After setup has finished the 'DAEMON Tools' shortcut is placed on your desktop
and the DAEMON manager icon will appear in the notification area of your
taskbar.Right-click on it to see the popup menu. The 'DAEMON Manager' allows you
to enable or disable Safedisc, Securom and Laserlock emulation. It is also used
to mount and unmount images to DAEMON Tools' virtual PHANTOM CDROM drive, to set
the number of how many PHANTOM CDROMs will be installed (number can be '0' to
'4') and to set several other options. Moreover you use it to access help menu.
A left-click on the icon allows the quick mounting/dismounting of images.
Directly after installation Windows assigns the next free drive letter to the
newly installed PHANTOM CDROM drive but after the next reboot Windows
automatically puts it in first place giving it the lowest drive letter of your
current CDROM drive(s). This behaviour is common for ALL SCSI CDROM drives newly
installed to your system, no matter if it is a virtual or physical drive. This
behaviour is NOT special for DAEMON Tools.
Anyway if you want to keep your old CDROM drive letter(s) make sure you're
logged in with administrative privileges and then go to

"Start"-->"Programs"-->"Administrative Tools"-->"Computer Management"

and open "Storage"-->"Disk Management" folder. Right-click on the CDROM device
you want to change and select "Change Drive Letter And Path...".

Since version 2.2 DAEMON Tools is compatible with Win 2K's "hibernation" and
"standby" modes!


Note for ALL operating systems:
-----------------------------------
Virtual DAEMON Manager starts with Windows by default. You can disable this
behaviour in the DAEMON manager's 'Options' menu by unchecking 'Autostart'! You
can (re-)start the manager manually using the 'DAEMON Tools' shortcut placed on
your desktop during setup. The protection emulation will not be active until you
enable one or more of them in DAEMON manager's 'Emulation' menu. The DAEMON
manager icon will turn green to signalize that one or more emulations are
active. The protection emulations work for all your CDROM drives.
After reboot previously mounted Images are remounted if 'Autostart' in 'Options'
menu is enabled. If you have Windows 'Autoinsert Notification' (AIN) enabled
the automatically remounted images will 'Autorun' as the mounting of an image
is nothing else as putting a physical CD to a CDROM drive. To prevent this
behaviour either disable AIN or deselect 'Automount' in DAEMON manager's
'Options' menu.
If you want to have emulation(s) automatically activated after boot up but do
not want to see the DAEMON manager tray icon for some reason disable the
'Taskbar icon' option. To start the DAEMON manager manually use the 'DAEMON
Tools' desktop icon.
Since version 2.2 it is possible to disable ALL virtual PHANTOM CDROM drives.
To do so right-click the DAEMON Manager icon and select
"Virtual CDROM" --> "Select number of devices..." --> "Disable. Depending on
your OS you may have to use 'Refresh' in device manager or reboot to see the
effect.


Uninstalling DAEMON Tools:
------------------------------
To uninstall DAEMON Tools go to

"Start" --> "Settings" --> "ControlPanel" --> "Software"

and select 'DAEMON Tools'. DAEMON Tools will be completely removed from your PC.

Windows NT may require a reboot to completely uninstall the drivers. In Windows
9x/ME/2000 all drivers are removed from the system immediately. If you reinstall
DAEMON Tools directly after Uninstall a reboot is required to completely remove
the previously uninstalled drivers.
