After a recent Windows XP update ( I am running XP with SP1), Shrink cannot open DVDs. The Movie name shows up correctly in the Open DVD Disc Box but on clicking I get an error message: DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue. Failed to read Drive "E:/" Incorrect Function DVD decrypter will only recognise the drive when the drive is open ( Disc not in)If the disc is then inserted will decrypt as usual. Shrink will then work on the decrypted file from the hard drive, but this seems a long way around! I have Defragged the drive and uninstalled/reinstalled both programs but with no change. These programs have always worked flawlessly with my current hardware setup. I wonder if I am having a problem caused by a windows update or by my recently installed Microsoft Antispyware Beta1. Has anyone any ideas?? Thanks Keith
Here is some info on your error from Digital Digest. You can try a system restore back to before you installed your update, if the problem persists then tou may want to try uninstalling your drives and then letting windows redetect them. Here is a site that talks about DMA settings but the procedure is the same. http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/checking DMA.pdf
