When I first heard about this problem, I turned my auto updates off and I haven't had any problems either. Good luck everybody.

Brobear,
I dont think a select few were targeted rather counting on the fact that folks would be apt to jump on slysoft updates before windows updates. Simply updating slysoft AFTER windows solved the issue with me. Off topic momentarily:
A google in regards to backing up dvds will point you to afterdawn more times than I can count. The 'powers that be ' possibly follow this and other forums to see the latest software releases/ updates and may have tried to embed a vista upgrade to see if they can pre-empt backing up dvds and cds.
Back on topic:
Don't feel this is a slysoft issue as the originator of this post expressed but microsoft looking at potentially profiting by conjuring up a system that disables products I mentioned earlier.

@ matt72 & ireland,
I agree. MS seems to be getting more into step with DRM with any of it's newer releases. Or any of their products. My older set-up does fine (OS wise). Until it stops working... I'll just upgrade my programs until they are no longer supported.
Now, as for KissMiss, Take a chill pill !! After all, you are dealing with human beings. Not some subserviant automatron. If I could, I would have had you banned not too long into your impatient tirade.
Now, can we get back to at least trying to provide some technical support instead of having tantrums & such?
TC

Well, I have no idea of the timing involved. All I know is that I'm supposed to have all the Windows XP updates and I have the latest AnyDVD. If it makes any difference, they're playing well together and no weird happenings. I guess I'm a bit more adventurous than Ireland. I normally load the new release of AnyDVD as it comes out and if I were to encounter a problem, I would reinstall the past version that was known to work properly. So far, I've not needed to, even when Slysoft has found a bug they needed to correct. Before I could find the bug, they had the update. I'm pleased and don't need my money back. AnyDVD has already paid for itself in making it so easy to do backups.

My 5.9.5.6 works well, I have XP SP2, but am allergic to updates. I am paranoid of Microsoft. When the political leader of China visits Bill Gates before he visits the president, that says a lot.

you can make that 3 now brobear/ireland~ :)
i am on WinXP Pro w/ SP2 and all updates set to automatic and they have all been performed/installed up to the recent April updates~ :P
Anydvd version 5.9.5.6 (for me) thus far works without a single hiccup, i haven't purchased any of the MOST RECENT released movies (i'm a few weeks behind), but up until my most recent being Fun w/ Dick & Jane, i've had no issues~

Add me to the list of people who use automatic updates and AnyDVD with no problems.
If I can learn here so can you.
Search first, then ask. Words to live by.

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.

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.

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.
