I am facing a problem in installing Microsoft Virtual CD Rom control panel which I wanted to use to mount ISO files without actually making CD from it .

I am following install instructions as given :


Installation instructions
=========================
1. Copy VCdRom.sys to your %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder.
2. Execute VCdControlTool.exe
3. Click "Driver control"
4. If the "Install Driver" button is available, click it. Navigate to the %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder, select VCdRom.sys, and click Open.
5. Click "Start"
6. Click OK
7. Click "Add Drive" to add a drive to the drive list. Ensure that the drive added is not a local drive. If it is, continue to click "Add Drive" until an unused drive letter is available.
8. Select an unused drive letter from the drive list and click "Mount".
9. Navigate to the image file, select it, and click "OK". UNC naming conventions should not be used, however mapped network drives should be OK.

You may now use the drive letter as if it were a local CD-ROM device. When you are finished you may unmount, stop, and remove the driver from memory using the driver control.

But when on step 5, I click start, I get error :

This driver has been blocked from loading

I am running windows 7 , 64 bit intel i3 desktop.

I did a quick search online and found that this tool is not compatible with windows 64 bit version. So better try something else, I suggest MagicISO .
