Microsoft's Windows Virtual optical drive

Yesterday to upgrade the operating system appeared in the blue screen, according to my analysis, the biggest possibility is because I have installed Daemon tools this virtual CD-ROM software, and uninstall Daemon tools, Daemon tools do not unload its own drive, the final copy of the file restart, Unable to load Sptd.sys properly causes Windows blue screen.

The blue screen during this Windows upgrade is scary because you cannot go into Safe mode to install Windows, you cannot restore the original operating system, you can only reinstall a new system, so the correct upgrade method is to completely remove daemon before you upgrade Windows Tools for all drivers, delete sptd.sys files, and then upgrade, I think will not appear blue screen.

I searched the internet for a sptd.sys, found that this file caused by the blue screen is very common phenomenon, not in an operating system, almost all operating systems are likely to appear blue screen phenomenon. Therefore, in order to the safety and reliability of the operating system, I strongly recommend that you do not make my mistake, absolutely cannot install daemon tools This software, if you need to use virtual optical drive, please install other alternative software.

I recommend using Microsoft's own development of a Windows virtual optical drive software, named Microsoft Virtual CD-ROM control Panel, only 2 files, no need to install, the size of only 32K, can also be virtual ISO, such as optical image files, Microsoft has developed its own products, I do not think there is a blue screen phenomenon, so it is recommended to use this dongdong to replace Daemon Tools.

Also yesterday a reader asked why I would install Windows Server 2003 instead of Windows XP on a personal computer, which is primarily related to my work, and the products I work with need to be server-compatible, with SQL Server, IIS, Tomcat and so on, so I have to use their own computers are configured as server, in fact, the use of the client version is not much different.
