dvdxcopy express reading problem

hello.
im having a problem backing up my buffy series 5 dvd, for some odd reason dvdxcopy wond read the disc, it gets to about 11 seconds and the program feezes. its the first one thats ever gone wrong and i was wondering if anyone could help me?

would it be a probelm with the softwear or the disc? if downloaded it to my harddrive but it still freezes when its reading it from there! im stumped, please help.
thanx

yep, that was the first thing i did, it dodnt help
it plays ok on my pc and dvd player

 

im using dvd xcopy express rf with dvd43.
no new softwear and yes other dvds read fine,

 

After reinstalling my OS (Win XP Pro) and DVD X Copy Xpress, I encountered a reading problem with a couple of non copy-protected discs (copy protected discs were read OK.) However, I could copy the non protected discs using Roxio Easy Media Creator 7. That worked, but DVD X copy would not.

Before the reinstallation, I recall it worked with all discs. I have DVD X Copy Xpress ver 3.2.1. I thought perhaps there had been an update I had installed as a matter of course, but which is no longer available and that I had forgotten about. Is that true?

 

Thanks for the link to DVD XCopy v 3.2.3. Should I uninstall v 3.2.1 before installing the newer version or is it safe to install 3.2.3 over 3.2.1?

On another note, when I clicked on the link to ver 3.2.3 (and a few other links as well) up comes a totally different web page, one from Fastclick showing a ridiculous ad and nothing else. It even changed the URL in the original link to direct me to their website! Alarmed, I did a virus scan and ran Spybot and AdAware. They showed nothing.
I was able to get to where I wanted to go by a copy and paste of the URL. I'm a newbie; is this common? Any way to protect from this hijacking?

Thanks

 

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

You folks seem to know a lot about what is going on, so might I ask another question? How can one get rid of the animation in those little ads that appear all over the place, even on geek websites. The last one I visited had 6 ads going like mad all simultaneously, enough to cause a siezure in some folks at least. In my case, I found it impossible to read the material I was after so I gave up.

I tried disabling "animation" and "videos" in Internet Options > advanced, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks.
