It looks like it is trying to open but then it stops, I removed it then reinstalled it ,but it still .will not open.the houre glass shows up for a se. or two. then nothing happens. Thanks for any help you can give me on this. xbill
I've had this problem before with Nvidia Video Driver. Not sure if you have installed any new video card but that is what caused my dvd shrink not to open.
uninstall the program
run CCleaner check and make sure there are no dvd shrink folders left in my documents,my computer etc. if there are delelte them
do a disc cleanup and defrag
reboot
reinstall dvd shrink

nero recode 2, clonedvd, Intervideo DVD Copy6 are all transcoders that will work better. DVD Rebuilder is an encoder if you want very high quality backups

Assuming it's not a graphics card/driver issue:
If running Xp with SP2 installed, it's possible that the OS's DEP (DATA EXECUTION PREVENTION) option is causing shrink to shut down. You have to change a setting to allow shrink to run...Click-> start, control panel, system, advanced, performance-settings, data execution prevention.... click on-> turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select. Now click-> ADD... and add the shrink executable file (dvdshrink32.exe) to the list, when done click-> APPLY.
NOTE: You should do this if running VISTA as well.
i got to the add part but can't figer how to get to the shrink executable file (dvdshrink32.exe) . not sure how to get to it.could you ex plane how to get it.a noob Thanks xbill
