General Computer Support / Logical Disk Manager, help please = ["Solved"]
« on: September 23, 2014, 11:38:57 am »
Hello,
I am hoping that you can help me with a minor issue on my trusty WinXP computer. I would like to continue using this old computer, and would appreciate a to fix this problem.
When I try to select My Computer > Manage > Disk Management I receive the following error message:
Logical Disk Manager (LDM) is not registered
LDM supports Windows 2000 or later
Check the operating system version on the computer named ["my computer's name"]
The window frame says "Unable to connect to the Logical Disk Manager Services"
I have checked my services and have found (which appears to be normal for WinXP):
dmserver - started/manual
dmadmin - stopped/manual
I have looked around the internet for ideas, and found a suggestion to run dmreg.inf
So I have tried to "install" my dmreg.inf file that I found in my c:\I386 folder
Although the Disk Management "works" with the above idea, it creates another set of problems. Whenever I reboot the computer, it now gets in a loop where a wizard reports "Found New Hardware" to be followed by error message: The wizard is unable to install new hardware logical disk manager.
I have also tried the Tweaking.com app, in hopes that it might somehow register the offending app correctly. However, it does not seem to help this particular issue.
I have restored various old image backups, so right now, I am back to the pre-install of the dmreg.inf (the state where the Disk Management is not working)
Multiple various scans have otherwise shown a clean WinXP computer.
Thanks for your help or any suggestions.
