What verison of Shrink do you have. What are your PC specs and OS.
Edit Did you have it installed before?

Well it is not Shrink. So K.I.S.S it. Keep it simple. Rule 1 is it plugged in. Sorry just bad humor...
Start with the usual suspects. Clean house, defrag and check for spy-ware. What else is running in the background [services]
OS XP or Vista

What movie are you trying to back up? Shrink alone cannot handle the newer encrypted movies. You need a program to fix the encryptions.

Like garmoon said what movie/s are you trying to back up?
Shrink is no longer updated so it can not handle the latest movie encryptions.
To check if it is an encryption problem try copying a movie that is a few years old or a movie that is not made by Sony,Dreamworks,Disney. If it works fine then it's a encryption problem.

i'm just trying to open the application. I haven't even gotten to the movie part yet. I've been using DVD Shrink for quite some time now on another pc but on this pc when i try and open the application it never opens but u can see in running in the background in task manager. It's hanging..thats what i need help with. i've dumped it reinstalled it, defraged the hard drive, disk clean up, removed adware, reinstalled windows. You name it.

As shrink is no longer updated it might not support your system especially with all the latest xp pro sp/update releases.
Apart from that I have no idea, sorry.
I am certain that other members will be able to get you sorted they are a great bunch of lads/gals.
Good luck

You say you reinstalled Shrink. Did you use the same file that you used that "hangs"? Try a new download for Shrink here and reinstall:

Well i already had Nero so nothing came with the burner software this is is strange to me also because in windows task manager it shows DVD Shrink when i double click on it but the program actually open all the way. It just hangs and slows my computer down so bad that i have to delete the process from task manager.

Did you do a full install of Nero 7 [w/In CD 5]. I dont think thats your problem but it will be if you get it running.
Look at this
http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?postid=222980#post...
Also check the Event Veiwer [sys and app]
Edit
What type is your hard drive.
When you re-installed XP did you reformat.
Someone said to boot to safe mode and see what happens.

Looked like what Exactly fixed it was going into safe mode and running DVD Shrink. going into preferences making sure that run analysis and low priority mode to improve multitasking was checked. Thats what fixed it! man and it only took 1 week.LOL Thanks for the advice to go into safe mode Thanks! Dawiz55 signing off!
