I recently bought a laptop with Vista already installed. I hate Vista and I purchased
Windows 7 and installed it over Vista. I had to give up any option of ever going back to Vista (i don't care to). With that being said, I use DVDfab and it works like a charm.
So far anything has been ripped, even recent released DVDs.

I,too, found some programs always give the error the OP asked about. I know that Win7 likes to place older programs in the ix86 (i think it's the name) folder. In another forum on a different topic, I read that someone suggested in placing a program in a different folder and see if that will make the program work. What I mean, is not to install it to the Program folder or the ix86 folder. Create your own folder and see if the program will work.

Hi all,
For years I've used DVDShrink for backing-up and ripping DVD's but since moved to Vista the program simply does not work. Searching for solutions I finally concluded that my old DVDShrink will never work again.
So in search for alternatives I ran into the following (pay)sites:
(1) http://www.official-dvdshrink.org/
This site is actually claiming to have a Vista compatible 2010 version of DVDShrink. First I was happy to find something familiar but franky I have no clue whether this is real or fake. Can one of you tell me if this is real and useful software?

(2) The afterdawn newsletter pointed me to some alternatives:
Software from this site http://www.slysoft.com/
Looks good despite that you have to use AnyDVD in combination with CloneDVD.

(3) Then I searched for 'CloneDVD region free' and ran into this site:
http://www.clonedvd.net/
And now I get suspicious and ask myself why using two programs from Slysoft if this software has it all in one.

Bottom line,I need some advice from you experts:
Which of the 3 alternatives is real and proper software for backing-up/ripping DVD's?
What is currenlty the best alternative for DVDShrink which can run on Vista?

Thank you so much for your support...
the clonedvd that afterdawn is part of slysoft's software found at http://www.slysoft.com/en/ the other is a not so good software rideing on slysoft's name

I have had very good results using the combination of anydvd and clonedvd to copy dvd's
slysoft's clonedvd is very easy to use and adjustable for movie file size and removing
unwanted extras such as adverts
