Problem with DVDDecrypter

[nicholecarlosa]

I installed DVDDecrypter and I get this error everytime I try to open it.

The application failed to initalize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the application.

Has anyone ever had this problem or could possibly tell me why I am getting this error.

Thanks
Nichole

Running Windows 98?

[nicholecarlosa]

No I have windows XP. I am doing this because I am having problems with the movie "Ray" and I was reading your instructions on how to back it up. I did the DVD43 and it is still giving me problems so I thought I would try DVDDecrypter but still having problems.

The only thing I found on Google:

"Hi all, CloneAD here, just thought I'd mention as stated on the download page of my web site for all .NET programs you have to have .NET Framework installed.

BTW, if you don't you get this error:

'The Application Failed To Initialize Properly (0xc0000135)'

Hope this clears a few things up.
Thanks"

Also that you don't have DVD Shrink trying to access your DVD at the same time as you use DVD Decrypter.

What is .Net?? I am sorry to sound so stupid but I am kind of clueless. I thougth I was doing soo good then this problem came up :(

[nicholecarlosa]

I made sure to turn off the DVD43 and did not have DVD Shrink trying to access the DVD. I read in your problem solving tips to turn off DVD43 if using DVDdecrypter

[cynthia]

So basically - the only thing you have done is to download DVD Decrypter ver 3.5.4.0? And when you try to launch the program it will not start and only give you this error message.

The Net thing was something I found on google - don't think it has any relevance to your case.

[nicholecarlosa]

Exactly. When I try to use DVD shrink it goes to about 52& analyzing and then says this

DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue
Failed to read file "I:\"
Copy protection error - the read failed because this sector is encrypted.

This is why I had the DVD43 running and it did it again with DVD43 running.
So I figured lets try DVD decrypter and I can't even get that to open up.

Is there a different place to download DVDdecrypter from?

[jmet]

There are 5 different places on this page to download DVD Decrypter 3.5.4.0 : http://www.dvddecrypter.com/index.php?act=download

[nicholecarlosa]

Thanks. I will try to download it from a different place and see how that works and if it makes a difference.

[nicholecarlosa]

Well I just tried it but no such luck. Why would my dumb computer not want to open this program???

[nicholecarlosa]

Since I can't get it to work can some please suggest a different program from the one I am already using???

[jmet]

DVD Decrypter 3.5.4.0 and DVD Shrink 3.2 are the only 2 programs I use, and 90% of the people here use.

You can try "DVD95Copy". It does it all. It is not freeware though. - http://forum.digital-digest.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=70

Asked the experts of the DVD Decrypter forum and kenadjian gave this answer:
This is an error caused by an extremly corrupt or damaged disc that will not allow DVDD or more correctly the drive to initalize, tell him / her to take the disc out, open DVDD, then try again.

[nicholecarlosa]

Arrggghh this is so frustrating I did as was suggested and I am still getting the same error. So does mean that it is my c: drive that is corrupt??

[cynthia]

Think you should try to clean the disc. Toothpaste is a good thing to use. :)

Is it an original DVD? Can you see any scratchec or damages on the surface of the disc?

[nicholecarlosa]

It is not that the DVD Decrypter will not ripp it it is the fact that I can not even open DVD Decrypter to try and ripp it at all.

[cynthia]

Even if you don't have any DVD in your burner/reader? :confused:

[nicholecarlosa]

Yep, it just won't let me even open it :(

[sfheath]

Could this be a DMA problem?

[nicholecarlosa]

What is the DMA if you don't mind me asking??

I'm not very hopeful this is your problem but it's something worth checking in any case.

[blutach]

Have you checked for viruses?

Regards

[nicholecarlosa]

Yes i have ran my anit-virus and it doesn't find any viruses. I have never had this problem with any other program that I have on my computer.

[blutach]

Just checking - and your virus defs are up to date?

Regards

[blutach]

And have you tried a system restore to just before you installed DVD Decrypter and then reinstalled it?

Regards

[nicholecarlosa]

No I haven't tried a system restore. I don't remember exactly when I downloaded the dvd decypter the first time. I don't think that backing up a DVD is worth doing a system restore. I don't want to loose any pictures. Will I loose pictures???

[blutach]

No - system restore keeps everything in My Documents and its subfolders. Read up on it in M$ Window$ help file.

In any event, I think a full deinstall and reinstall of DVD Decrypter is on the cards.

it's a bit of a pain, but get a program called upx and decompress the dvddecrypter.exe file.

I think your computer has issues with it's compression methods.

[nicholecarlosa]

Where would i get a program like that?? Is it something I have to buy or something that I can download??

[cynthia]

http://upx.sourceforge.net/

[nicholecarlosa]

i have windows xp which one would I need??

[cynthia]

This one: http://upx.sourceforge.net/download/upx125w.zip

Win32 console version.
