Hi, Mine works as I used the method stated in my previous posts. Could have been easily an operator error. I still bet it was a update from windows that caused the conflict. Just wanted to re-iterate the point of me getting anydvd 5.9.5.6 to work so as not escalate what could be a potential informative (somewhat) thread to plunder into a flamewar.
With some members not having problems, maybe I was premature in turning off my auto updates. But,I will still play this by ear and see what happens.
Some systems have problems and others don't, that leads me to believe there's something different about the systems other than the OS causing what problems there are. Not saying that Windows updates aren't triggering problems, just that there must be something more. Otherwise how do we explain all the users without problems using the same OS with the same updates?
That's already 5.5 working and 2.5 not. Matt72 is sort of a split call. Instead of forgive my French, just overlook my math if I missed anyone. LOL I suspect if the poll kept going the margin of working would quickly distance the not.
Hi, brobear the voice of reason as usual . Yes I did get it working per my previous reply. Could be the system I had the issue with was a 64 bit xp media center pc and still shaky using some 32 bit software. No customization on any of the components and rely on windows updates (critical at least). Ummm..any input from the original poster on his progress?
I'd suggest going back to a 32 bit OS or using a dual boot system. There's just been too many conflicts between 32 bit software and the 64 bit OS. I wouldn't consider the 64 bit till they get a good inventory of software for it. 64 bit is the future, but unfortunately for some, the future isn't here yet. There still hasn't been much software developed for it. My next build is going to be dual core with a 64bit processor, but it still only gets a 32bit OS till things improve.
Short story What I get a kick of this,they say they know all about computers,yet they bring them to me full of spy ware they did not know they had. Example as to why anydvd did not work on one guys puter, how about 1400+ spy ware programs installed on his puter. And a couple of virus’s,he was lucky the computer booted up as it was so slow.. A friend of mine who sales and custom builds puters,found as high as 2200 spyware on one puter.
Spybot, Ad-Aware Pro, SpySweeper, Norton A/V, Norton Security. And I still catch the little buggers, they just keep a comin.
I have every XP patch and upgrade and never had a problem with AnyDVD or CloneDVD, but did experience numerous problems with DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink. The infamous blue screen of death. Had to stop using those programs.
XP/SP2 (auto updates turned on), absolutely no problemo with AnyDvd/CloneDvd2. Couldn't agree more with the statement of spyware/adware playing havoc with programs. I know virtually nothing about computers, just the basics. Year ago when my DvdXCopy did not work, first thing I did was run Adaware.....egads over 200.
you're welcome Brobear! I have turned automatic updates off last night to see what happens with further updates. Microsoft climbing into bed with Hollywood is scary.
After reading all the posts in this thread, and not realizing that 1ClickDvd has it's OWN ripper, I'm wondering that perhaps it may be the "DVD" in question that kissmiss is trying to backup? (perhaps a Sony?) I had problems with AnyDVD/DvdXCopyRF (with ripper put back in) on my older system, and came up with my own solution. First, make sure you disconnect from the internet. 1. Turn off ANYDVD, so it doesn't run in the background. 2. Use only your burner drive, put in dvd, wait til the light stops blinking. 3. Reboot your computer, without removing the dvd. Disable antispy programs, etc. 4. Open up AnyDvd, let it do its thing (wait 'til fox turns dark red) 5. Open up your burning program and proceed.
My XP SP2 has all critical updates & latest AnyDvd, no probs whatsoever. And My PC can be a biatch at times!
LOL.......all you would laugh at the specs on my OLD computer 1.2 AMD Athlon, Gigabyte GA7ZX, 60GB Maxtor, 512 PC133 SDRAM, MSI GeforceFX 5200 128 MB, XP SP1, LiteOn 451S, Lite-On DVDRom. I, recently upgraded my case to black/silver to make it look better than it is. LOL Had black drives in a beige case. Average time to read and burn (4X) 40 minutes. Still gets the job done.
@kissmiss How long ago was DVD43 uninstalled from your comp? Even if DVD43 was uninstalled using the [bold]Add/Remove[/bold] or it's own uninstaller, not all traces of it are uninstalled/removed. There could be trace amounts of registry entries of DVD43 left behind. You could search the registry, or you could try using a basic registry cleaner from CrapCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/) or using a bit more advanced registry cleaner, RegSeeker (http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm ). Since you've been with computers since 1982, there's no need for a disclaimer from me that editing the registry could be dangerous
b-4 i install any program i use erunt to back up my total registry this has saved me back-side meny times ERUNT - The Emergency Recovery Utility NT Registry Backup and Restore for Windows NT/2000/2003/XP Introduction ------------ With the invention of Windows 95 Microsoft made the wise decision to organize all computer- and application-specific data which was spread over countless INI files before in a centralized Windows database, called the system "registry". The registry is one of the most important parts in every Windows system today, without which the OS would not even boot. And since the registry is quite sensitive to corruption, it is very advisable to backup its according files from time to time. In MS-DOS based Windows versions (95, 98, Me) the registry consists of the files SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT (and CLASSES.DAT in Windows Me). To backup these files, one can easily go to the Windows folder in Explorer and copy the files to a safe location, for example another folder on the hard disk. Microsoft even supplies a utility called ERU which can be used to backup these and a few other critical system files to a safe location. Also, Windows 9x/Me automatically create backups of the registry at startup, with Windows 95 always backing up the registry from the previous Windows session, and Windows 98/Me maintaining up to five registry copies from the last five days where Windows was running. Unfortunately, this is not the case with Windows versions based on the NT kernel. In Windows NT and 2000, the registry is never backed up automatically, and in XP it is backed up only as part of the bloated and resource hogging System Restore program which cannot even be used for a "restore" should a corrupted registry prevent Windows from booting. It has also become impossible to copy the necessary files, now called "hives" and usually named DEFAULT, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, SYSTEM in the SYSTEM32\CONFIG folder, to another location because they are all in use by the OS. And though the registry in an NT-based Windows is less likely to become corrupted than in other versions, it can still happen, and for these cases NT is simply missing an option for easy registry backup and restore as there is in Windows 9x/Me, to get the system up and running again in no time. In 2001, as Windows XP began to come pre-installed on many new home user PCs and was likely to become the new Windows standard over the next years, I decided to write a program which offers the ease-of-use of Windows 9x/Me ERU by Microsoft (hence the name ERUNT) to backup the registry, as well as providing an auto-backup capability, for example at Windows startup. Or, before installing a new program for testing purposes one could save the registry with ERUNT, install and test the program, uninstall it and restore the registry to be 100% sure that no debris is left. Note: The "Export registry" function in Regedit is USELESS (!) for making a complete backup of the registry. Neither does it export the whole registry (for example, no information from the "SECURITY" hive is saved), nor can the exported file be used later to replace the current registry with the old one. Instead, if you re-import the file, it is merged with the current registry without deleting anything that has been added since the export, leaving you with an absolute mess of old and new entries. hell go here to read it all.and download,left side of page as ye want erunt http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt
@ Ireland, Looks good. Have you any experience with "NT Registry Optimizer". I've run "Ccleaner" and have sparingly tried "Hijack this". They seem to have helped. TC
I think anydvd is the most overated software.Never have problems with DVDFABEXPRESS,u PPL jump all over other PPL for saying anything bad about anydvd or slysoft.What ever happend to freedom of speech,and having a opinion.I had nothing but problems with anydvd,DVD clone has never had problems,so it leads me to beleive theres a FLAW in the anydvd program,and a system restore!!!!WHAT just to get a little program running again????Thats the last thing u wanna do,SYSTEM RESTORE?????C'mon PPL,sumthing wrong with that,if PPL have to do system restores just to get anydvd working (AGAIN)
