When unistalling AnyDVD & CloneDVD.....

when doing to unistalls and fresh new installs do I need to also remove the "registration information" when that warning box appears?

 

I don't all that removes is your key, might as well leave it.

 

I would leave it there, so next time you install, will be already registered.

 

you DONT need to remove the "registration information" just uninstall the programs now and then and do a clean reinstall

 

depends on whether the person un-installing has been a naughty boy,and got the version of anydvd from a unknown source.

just in case they have,i found this little app recently,and its pretty good for cleaning out unwanted registry entries

@hursty.
never seen you on this site before but your status obviously says you've been here for quite some time. But rest-assured I have a legit copy of both programs, however after fresh installs of both proggy's and my firmware upgrade, I am still getting incredibly slow speeds now. I wonder if my burner is "burning" its self out. I have even done system cleans, defrags and scans, but still slow.

 

my implication of getting apps from an unknown source wasnt directed at you,although it does appear that way,

anyways,what slow speeds are you getting,when burning?

have you tried uninstalling the drive and doing a fresh install?

 

Maybe your burners) have dropped into PIO mode....

 

yeah halfhere check your drives and make sure there in DMA mode NOT PIO mode you can fix that in device manager or use this guide

here's another guide to put your drive back into DMA mode. And here is a good read about why a drive slips into PIO mode:

this should help.

 

yeah, checked the DMA mode and all appears well. Maybe I will try to unistall my drive and reinstall it. My drive is (was) a good drive but maybe I need a new one. After all, continuously burning close to 3-400 movies might end up causing the issue. It was a good drive.(memorex) great drive for me, would never touch that media though. Anyway thanks to all for responding, I always appreciate every ones help one this site and

@hursty, didn't want to seem like I was burning any bridges with ya, I hope my response didn't seem like an angry one. (by all means it wasn't)

I always like to post cause so many good people respond, thanks again.

 

IHoe/aabbccdd:
-great links thanks.

 

my PX-716A was good for over 5 -6000 burns so 3 or 400 burns shouldn't kill the burner but being a memorex burner who knows.

are you keeping your system clean doing a disc cleanup and defragging often (at least once a week)

 

yeah, I did that too. Everything was great. Defraged twice in a row, no virus or spyware etc.. Unistalled, reinstalled software, firmware upgrade etc..

Next step: I think I might get a benq1650 or 1655. I heard pretty good stuff about them. Who knows...

You've definitely done alot more burns than I. I mean the burns used to take 20 min. Now, it's 4 hours.
