I don't know about anyone else, but after the first and second update today, I can't initialize AnyDVD via bootup or opening manually. I tried to uninstall/reinstall and it didn't help so I'm going back to an older version for now.
I couldn't find a log file to send to them.
I had no problems installing on three different systems, but anyway (do step 1 and read the rest) . . .
If you're using Vista, then click
this.
If you have Zonealarm on your system, ensure Anydvd is being given permission to access the trusted zone.
Similarly if you have a firewall, antivirus or spyware program--ensure it's not blocking Anydvd from running.
Provided you downloaded Anydvd from Slysoft's website, Anydvd is a safe program (you have nothing
to be paranoid about).
If you have System Mechanic, System Mechanic Pro,
or any kind of registry monitoring program, please ensure
these programs are allowing Anydvd's installation program to modify your registry--as those programs can block
Anydvd from installing properly.

If Anydvd says your drive is disabled, ignore the message unless you also receive it
when you have a movie inserted in that drive. Some drives' firmware may report the wrong
information to Anydvd. Often Anydvd will still function properly.

If Anydvd can't see your drives or they aren't listed, click the red fox icon on your toolbar. Navigate to "Drives"-->"Selection".
Ensure your optical drives are checkmarked.
Right click the Anydvd icon on your desktop. Click "properties". Click the "Compatibility tab". If you're using
Windows XP, ensure the box for "compatibility mode" is
not selected. -- thanks to vbro for the information
