I need to speed up smartripper...(read plz)

[fabietto]

Hi ppl, some days ago i've re-installed XP from scratch and so re-installed all the softz i need 4 ripping etc.
Before that smartripper was doing its job at 7/8x (very very fast), now after the new installation (and after some aspi problems i had)
smartripper rip at 1,3x (very very slow). So while before it was ripping 1 dvd in about 20 min. now it takes about 57 min.
Is here somebody that could help me on what eventually should i check 4 improve the speed of the proggy?
I have win xp, aspi 4.60 NT (i've used forceaspi).
Hope u can help me...
Cheers

I use XP and my 16x drive rips at about 8x, to tell you the truth i dont know how to speed it up, but just to let you know that it is possible and its not XP so no worries there!

try and install the Latest ASPI from adptech. it is 4.7. and also check the DMA is switched on for the Drive. I installed the ASPI on my friends m/c win 2000. it increased the spead by 5-6X ie from 1.3- 1.7 to 6 - 9 x SO try that.

the aspi files need to be in the same folder as tmpeg right?
