Publisher's Description
From Arainia Solutions:
Gizmo Central is a unified set of utilities designed for powers users. Included with this free suite of tools are some essential features that make your daily computational chores a little bit easier and a lot more fun. Gizmo allows you to mount ISO, VHD, and BIN images to a virtual CD-ROM device. You can create encrypted virtual hard drive images to protect your important files from prying eyes. The hashing module gives you the ability to calculate MD5 and SHA-1 values for any file on your computer, or for an entire CD-ROM disc. The script module automates your repetitive day-to-day tasks by simulating mouse movements and keystrokes. Database tools are included too, as well as a handy launch bar, synchronization tools, and an editor that supports hex editing and syntax highlighting (PHP, PERL, JavaScript, HTML, XML).
What's new in this version: Version 2.7.9 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

"Work as promised"
Version: Gizmo Central 2.7.9
Pros
It also comes with Gizmo manager (optional). It worked perfectly when I burned an ISO-file, which you can do without mounting.
Cons
It put it selves back in the startup all the time. A bit annoying.

"Admirable philosophy behind creation, caused problems."
Version: Gizmo Central 2.7.9
Pros
The creation of free software is great, I really appreciate these types of tools being created and distributed for free. Their benefits are greater than the collective loss of revenue. I can see by the other tools available in this bundle that the author has similar interests as me, and while it didn't work for me, I hope it it works for others.
Cons
I do have an eclectic Win7 installation, so please weigh this information appropriately.
Opening the manager feature hung my graphics display and on restart. I have screen flicker in secondary monitor (win7x64 installation). Flicker is persistent after uninstallation. This screen flicker was a previous problem for me which required lengthy and extensive driver un/re/installs and software migration. None of the original pathogenic software (amd overdrive and company) is currently being used, and so I am back to square one with a eye catching flicker until I am successful.Summary
Did not function for me, and broke some fixes I had applied to my machine. I couldn't use the software without my GUI functioning, so I can't comment further.

"Plain and simply awesome"
Version: Gizmo Central 2.7.9
Pros
It's free, allows mounting of ISOs AND VHDs. All the other features like someone above mentioned are just the icing on the cake. Did I mention it's free? As for the restart before use....almost if not ALL virtual cd drive utilities require a reboot before you can mount. It's not really a con specific to this one at all...that's just how it is. No fees, no annoying UPGRADE TO PRO messages. It's free and functional software.
Cons
I have no real qualms whatsoever with it.
Summary
Overall I would recommend this to anyone. I've been using a couple of other tools in the past to mount ISOs and such, but this takes the cake. I'm making the switch to this as my freeware ISO mounting software (finally an easy solution for mounting my vhd's).
