OK, uninstalling and reinstalling resolved the issue. I would still look into the Internet connection angle, with the number of people reporting the problem, my specific configuration is not at fault and well behaved software should not require uninstalling and reinstalling to correct the situation.
I have CloneDVD 2.9.1.5 and AnyDVD HD 6.3.1.2 installed, thank you.
No need to uninstall anything. Just install CloneDVD2915 and you're fine.
James, cloclo3712 already had 2.9.1.5 installed and was experiencing this problem--before uninstalling and reinstalling, which fixed the problem.
I downloaded the 2.9.1.5 update yesterday but upon reading about the problems popping up, left it uninstalled on my Win XP desktop. This morning when trying to copy a dvd, the program would immediately and repeatedly shutdown with no error message. I deleted the uninstalled update and program now works again fine.
Very odd . . .
You could certainly be right. I have no idea why this is happening.
And I don't understand why uninstalling and reinstalling seems to work (but it does).
I don't work for Slysoft (and actually Elaborate Bytes develops Clonedvd--not Slysoft), but I will forward your concerns to one of the Slysoft developers.
