MSDServ interface was changed. 3) Corrected a behaviour with Allow/Prevent removal which caused BSOD of unplug just after a writing. 4) Corrected a behaviour which caused a conflict and a BSOD if driver installed with EasyCDCreator suite. 5) Added SonyStick icon 6) Modified registry entry which indicates a special format for a given card kind, to handle any new future kind of format.
