I'm using a software (build by myself) that denies write access to cd burner drives.
If activated to 'read-only' mode, when I use the menu option 'File->Open CD/DVD' in UltraIso it cannot find any drives in my computer, even though I have 2 (one DVD-ROM and one DVD-RW).
Any other software (for any cd operation) can see and read data from the drives under the same circumstances, so my theory is that when you are building the list of available drives, and checking if it's writable or not, you are getting an exception in your function that results in it returning an empty list.
My recomendation is to treat each available device separately inside an exception trapper, so one failure wouldn't(shouldn't) affect the detection of another one.

Cheers, Anu

Hello anudedeus,

Thanks for your message.

Could you provide instructions for how to reproduce this problem?

Well, I guess you will hate this answer:
Sorry, I can't! The only way I found to make it happen was using my own company's software to, as I said, deny write access to the devices. Unfortunatelly, that software is not available on the market and I'm not authorised to send it or parts of it to you.
I would, though, gladly run/test any alpha/beta version of UltraIso in our systems and provide you with any feedback around this issue, if you wish so.
UltraIso is a great tool in many aspects, and I do hope it only gets better.
Cheers

Thank you anudedeus for your explanation.

As low level SPTI interface is used for 'File'->'Open CD/DVD' to access devices, administrator's right is needed.
