Hi there, everyone!
First of all, thanks for the contributions of everyone, mainly for the thread creator that, like me, noticed DVDFab was dropping his internet connection (on his USB GSM modem).
I had this problem before, but just today I could isolate the scenario. Starting DVDFab made my Huawei USB modem (E226) go crazy, the modem would keep on being enabled/disabled on the system repeatedly.
Alright, to make a longer story short: thanks for the guys who already noticed that Win7 wouldn't accept DVDFab on ASPI. I never really tried, I read this post and preferred not to try.
But based on the suspicious drive letters, I tried and had success with another solution, probably should work with previous versions of Windows, but I just tried on my Win7 system: Disk Management. I just removed the drive letter, started DVDFab and ripped an entire DVD flawlessly, with no connection dropping.
If you need a guide (I'm not so detailed, but c'mon, you can do it!):
Sorry if it seems like a stupid solution, I just needed something that worked. Also, it's a stupid bug from my modem mounting itself as a CDFS (the probable cause) partition. I don't think it's DVDFab's fault, since it finds what it thinks it's a CD/DVD/BD drive.
Hope it works for you guys and also for the future clever searchers.

If you need a guide (I'm not so detailed, but c'mon, you can do it!):
- Open My Computer
- Check what's the drive letter for your modem (should be easy to spot on the large icon view)
- Open Disk Management with one of these ways:
- Start > Run > type "diskmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) and press ENTER
- On Win7, press the Win key or click the Windows logo and type "disk" (without quotes), you should find something like "Create and format disk partitions"
- There are other ways, sorry I won't try to list each possible one
- Locate the drive letter for your modem
- Right-click on it, there should be an option like "Change drive letter", click it
- It will show another window with the letters the drive is using, probably just one, if you didn't customize it in any way.
- Select each one of them and click "Remove"
- "Magic" is done, you can close the program if you do not intend to use the modem's drive letter again.
- Open DVDFab, go do your rips and happily keep on browsing during the process. I hope, it worked for me.
