DVD Decrypter always worked on my Win 2000 PC, I recently got a new PC with XP SP2 fully up to date.
On the new PC when DVD Decrypter encouters a problem with a DVD it often ceases to function properly. This can involve a retry error, a manual cancel/skip file, or similar ripping error, though on disks that it reads with no problems it works perfectly. When an error occurs DVD Decrypter will not close at all, File-Exit, clicking the 'x' button, even ending the process with task manager all fail to have any effect. Worse though its crashed-but-still-alive state prevents other apps from starting or apps already running from loading files, and Windows won't even re-start or shut down. The only remedy is to hit the reboot button on the PC's case!!
Obviously something is up. Any ideas what to do to resolve this situation?
also make sure you have Check For Program Updates unchecked in the Events tab, you don't want the program talking to the internet since it was pulled several years ago.
if your having ripping problems try using dvdfab decrypter instead ,more info here
