Windows 7 and DELL Latitude D630

I had installed Windows 7 into my office Dell Latitude D630 in preparation for my 5-days trip to Australia (Sydney-Canberra). The installation of Windows 7 was very straightforward almost a no brainer. It recognized all the computer's components automatically, admittedly, D630 is rather new uses most of the common and standard stuff (e.g. Intel chipset, etc.), you know what I meant.

The challenges started only after I tried to install applications. First off, I need a DVD/CD emulator, I am a big fan of Daemon Tools but this time, I am out of luck. Daemon tools caused Win7 to BOD (Blue screen of Death) upon restarting the notebook. No luck, I search the internet and bum into few articles that recommended the alternative.
