It sounded like some .dll files were missing !!
Some ideas to investigate further :
1)If you can , restore your system to a time when you knew DVD Shrink was working well .
2) Try a portable version of this software .
You can DL it here:

zooco---why are you pimping a software thats suspiciously close to a known program? Looks like you either pay or get ads and who knows what when you download it. No need to pay for the real deal.

BTW, I found these links on the NET and it is a freeware , portable version of DVD Shrink v3.2 . unc23 could not run the standard version ; so, it is reasonable to try a portable version ., isn't it ?
Do you know that " Trying to do the same thing and expect a dfferent result is a sure sogn of insanity ! "

zooco---You are in this other thread saying you cant get it to work
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/556959
And now you recommend it?
I'm not jumping on you, from what I can find, that PORTABLE DVDshrink has nothing to do with the real one, and has only been available for download a few weeks.
Real insanity comes from running strange softwares from unknown origins that just happens to look like a world-wide favorite but really isnt.
unc23---have you run any system cleaners like disk cleanup that comes with windows or CCleaner (great free program) after uninstall/ before install?

A friend of mine could run this portable DVD Shrink on his PC while I could not .That's why I posted for help .
There is a possibility that it might work for unc23 in his system as well . So , what's the harm to try different approach to solve his problem .
There isn't any insanity in trying out new softwares so long as you have measures to guard against potentially malicious harms . As the old saying goes... Nothing ventured, nothing gained .
BTW, congratulations on your great hints helping unc23 solving his problem... :-)
