AnyDVD Says "No Drive Connected"?

Thanks for the help. I'll try those steps asap. I'm in the middle of a move, so it may be a few days. I'll let you know what happens.

I had this same problem over the weekend. Had an earlier version of AnyDVD installed than what is currently available for download, but I think the change occurred after I installed Game Jackal (the version currently posted on the site). I'm running Vista 64 Ultimate with SP1.

I found the following post on Microsoft's site to fix this, which worked for me to reenable the drives (would like to know what caused it to happen, though): http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;314060&x=12&y=13

Don't be doing that unless you enjoy reinstalling software.

Drives can disappear when a filter stack entry is listed but the driver doesn't actually exist on your hard drive. So if you manually tried to uninstall something, for example, and didn't remove the corresponding filters from your registry as well, then that situation can occur.
