Help needed with creating Virtual Drives

I have just purchased Power2Go 8 and did the update to V2126. This is my first attempt at creating virtual drives. I have a number of data (genealogical cd's) cd's that I would like to have installed on my computer so that I can open and use without swapping CD's each time I want to use the other one. Eg. one is for Marriages and the other is for burials.
I can get 1 cd set up as a virtual drive, so that I do not have to put the CD into the CD drive to use it, but cannot get the other one to work. Seems like I can only set up 1 Virtual drive at a time even though I have assigned different drive letters to each copy of the iso file made using P2G. Can anyone advise on how to get both CD's set up - must be a way somehow. This is for my Win 7 laptop in which I want to use when I am travelling, hence also a need not to carry extra CD's with me.

Thanks. Ailsa

I have the same issue. Tried modifying the following registry key and rebooting but no help.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\CLVirtualDrive]
"MaxDriveNumber"=dword:00000001

Changing the dword from hex to dec and put a 2. Reboot and it should have given me 2 drives but still only one.

Looked at the pdf support doc for power2go 8 and it makes not mention of being able to have 2 or more simultaneous drives mounted. That is what your asking for.

Maybe cyberlink can help with some suggestions or maybe it just is not possible yet till they rework the *.exe file associated with it.

Thanks for your reply. After reading a bit more myself I think the program is designed for only 1 Virtual Drive, whereas other programs can make more than one. It was the one feature I did the upgrade on my laptop to the full version - should have read about it more before doing the update.
I am going overseas in a weeks time and particularly wanted to have this sorted out before now. Again thanks for looking at the solution.
