Problems of DVD Device Lock in Windows 7

**Amma-Watson** · 10-02-2010

DVD Device Lock is a software that used to work fine in Windows Vista, that I was using previously. This software helped to hide or restrict access to removable media devices such as CD, DVD, floppy, flash and USB drives, and deny access to partitions of the hard disk drives. But, after upgradation there are problems of DVD Device Lock in Windows 7. I cannot understand why, since there were no problems while installing the software.

If there are problems of DVD Device Lock in Windows 7, then you may have installed an old version of the software. Such incompatibility issues are seen with the older versions of the softwares only, since they are not made such that they should support the Windows 7 platform. So, I suggest you to upgrade the software or download the latest version of the same. This will probably solve the problem.

An installation error must have occurred because of which you are encountering problems of DVD Device Lock in Windows 7. This happens when you run other applications in the background along with the installation process. This is why it is always recommended before beginning the installation process to quit all the applications and programs. So, I suggest you to uninstall the software and then, restart the system. After that reinstall the same and make sure that no other applications and programs are running in the background.

The problems of DVD Device Lock in Windows 7 may not be an incompatibility issue. There are many security features in Windows 7 operating system. This may be the reason you may be getting some errors or problems. Use the "Run as Administrator" option, since it forces the applications and programs in the system to execute forcefully. I can assure you that this technique works, since I am using the same method to solve such problems in my system with Windows 7.
