Smartripper Help Please

[KaoS]

On a WindoesME machine I am having problems with SmartRipper locking up my machine when I start it. It tells me something to the effect of "Illegal operation, your computer must be restarted"

I have unlocked the drive first (by starting the movie with WinDVD) so that is not the problem.

I *DO* have Nero installed and someone in a earlier thread said that there may be a fix by removing one of the Nero Files? But I could not find anywhere which file they were talking about or any more specifics on this problem.

I have tried reinstalling SmartRipper a few times and that did not help. Also the boot patch on Nero will not work for me since it specifically says that it will not work on WindowsME and to be honest with you, the last thing I want to do anyways is add another boot option to my machine.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

try to install the lastest firmware and the lastest ASPI layer for the DVD-ROM for the ASPI layer go download FORCEASPI and it will install the latest ASPI layer even if your machine doesnt come up with it satndard

It's not SmartRipper....I have WinME and SmartRipper 2.36 is working...

GoodLuck.

PS: DVD Decrypter is pretty good also.

Just like pinoy2201 said, get latest ASPI Layer and Firmware for your CDRW, and also latest IDE drivers for your mainboard.

Sefy do u know any frimware to make my Samsung SD-612B in to a region free...i have checked the firmware site and they dont have my model....or can i use the Samsung SD-612 region free firware with my model

Well, I suppose you could use the 612 on your 612b, but i'd first make a backup of your current Firmware (the software usually supports it) and then you can try, but be careful!!

Try checking the firmware page regularaly, they always add new firmwares for new drives
