I've been using any dvd to copy dvds now for about a year. everything was working fine up to about upgrade 6.0.6.1. Then I start receiving an error message stating that I have no DVD Drive installed in my computer. This obviously is a lie, and my bios is recognising the drive is there, but windows and any dvd are refusing to recognise the drive. The only way I could find to fix this was to uninstall AnyDVD completely, which is a waste of time as I want use it. I've done every upgrade that Slysoft have made available, right up to the latest one released today, and it's still doing it.
I found one fix which allowed me to get it to work properly, but it involved deleting information from the registry. Since that time I've had a hard drive crash and lost a lot of information, this trick being one of the things lost. This was however only a short term fix and involved rebooting my computer about 4 times to get AnyDVD to work.
As you can imagine this is extremely frustrating, and I'm fed up with having to install AnyDVD, re-boot, error message there, unisntall AnyDVD, reboot, clear out registry entry, reboot again, reinstall AnyDVD, reboot, etc etc etc just to copy one dvd.
@Sharlow, A newer version 6.1.1.3 is out, when I got my email notification to that effect, part of the bug fixes log include that non recognition issue. As I type this to you another update came through V 6.1.1.4?. Busy little devils aren't they?
@syntheti, That's for sure. The guys and gals at Slysoft really have their work cut out for them. They don't always get it 100% correct every time or even in time for some of the latest releases, but, sooner or later, they do. Good one Slysoft.

@Mr_Pink, if memory serves, and correct me if I'm wrong, Ireland posted that AnyDVD had infact issued a beta release. The encryption/decryption issues surrounding sawIII and others, must have been very tricky, hence the official release delay.
If your interested, THIS is where the beta was released.
@Sharlow, Are you still with us? How are you going now?
Well i.ve reinstalled every thing and so far so good.
I actually have a hard drive hooked up to my dvd drive as a slave (was told to do it this way rather than buy a pci card when I wanted to put a third drive into my computer).
I've disconnected this and it seems to have stopped the drive getting lost.
Any one have any idea why this would make any differance?
