I want to try to burn with the CloneDvD/AnyDvD combination, because it seems highly recommended. However, I tried to install the new version of AnyDVD and get clone DVD and I got this error during the installation mode: Error opening file for writing: "C:/Windows/system32/ElbyCDIO.dll" Hit abort to retry Ignore to skip... Can anyone help? Addional question - Originally I was burning fine with DVD Shrink & Nero (w RegionFree in the background). But when I had to reinstall Nero (trial version) everything went wrong. Is there a way to get an older version of Nero (that I was told works well with Shrink) with a free trial. I don't mind paying for any software, but I dont want to spend a dime until I know that it burns with ease.
Nero 6.6.0.18: Package 1: http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2: http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe Nero 7.0.8.2: http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?845
Do what laddyboy said and as for AnyDVD & CloneDVD did you have a license key? Or is this just a trial, cause to update all you have to do it download and it installs the newer program over the old.
Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it. It won't let me download this version of Nero unless I have a serial number. As I mentioned, I never purchased Nero. I don't mind paying for it, but I want to make sure it works fine first. Is there a way to test out this version of Nero for free, then I'll buy it? What do you recommend I do? Also, I have DVD Shrink 3.2 Is this the right version that works automatically with Nero?
Yes thank you, but what about my Nero question. For this downlaod to work, I need a serial number. Is there any way to test out Nero Burn 6.6.0.18 (w DVD Shrink) for free? I don't want to buy it until I know it works.
The trouble you may be running into is that you previously had a trial or regular version of Nero installed and there is something in the registry indicating that so it won't let you redo the trial. Run the Nero 6/Nero7/General Clean Tools and then try searching for Nero in your registry and deleting anything that concerns it and maybe it'll load as a trial. If you're just looking for a program that'll burn DVDs, just use ImgBurn. It's free and DVD Shrink will autoburn with it. Imo Imgburn is a superior DVD burner to Nero and causes fewer problems.

laddyboy - Thank you for the help with ImageBurn. I really appreciate it. However, I still seem to be having problems. I tried DVD Shrink w/ DVDDecryptor and then with ImagBurn and both failed.

Hi. I really dislike Ricoh media which is what you're using. Have you tried a different media like Verbatim or made in Japan labeled Fuji or Sony. I'd also up the burn speed to 4X. Have you searched for a firmware update. I typed HP 840b into the search at HP.com and got firmware HJ86 which is newer than your current firmware HI86: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...tem=dv-39047-1&product=1101461&dlc=en&lang=en Try increasing the burn speed to 4X and update the firmware. Hopefully that'll solve the problem. If that doesn't, try a different brand of media.
