dvd fab stopped working due to ????

[ma1934]

I followed DVDFab Tech support and still can not get program to open. Downloaded ver.8073 and had no problem, program opens OK. Ver. 8082 will not open. Using Windows 7 with Verizon Security program.

Info from Tech Support as follows:

Please disable your Antivirus/Anti Spyware/Firewall software which you may
have running. Then run DVDFab again to see the result.

If fail, please use the Add/ Remove function in the Control Panel to
uninstall DVDFab8 completely first. Then open My Computer and go to
c:\Program Files (OR) wherever you installed DVDFab, delete the "DVDFab"
folder. Open "c:\WINDOWS \ PREFETCH" clean all the relevant ".pf " files
with DVDFab.

Restart computer and check if there are some related files left, if does,
please delete them.

After all that clean procedure, please install the latest version of DVDFab
8.0.8.2 at

When installing, please Right-click DVDFab setup file, and then click "Run
as administrator". After installing, Right-click DVDFab shortcut on the
desktop, click "Run as administrator" to run DVDFab to see the result.

Latest version

Not sure some are understanding what one of your posters is trying to explain. It hasn't been years since he's used DVDFab...he's saying he's been using it for years. As well as I have too. I've changed nothing on my computer, everything is the same as it has ever been with earlier versions of Fab. However this new version that just came out 8.0.8.2 will install but when you try to bring it up it won't let you on my XP with McAfee. I uninstalled the new version on my XP and reinstalled the previous version before this one and it worked fine, tried updating to the newest again and same problem. I hope this explains what problem some of us are having.

Since you did not use DVDFab for so long you was unaware of the update BitDefender released that caused problems. Hard to say what problem is but have you tried right clicking the desktop icon and select run as administrator

let me get this right. If I go exclude applications on bit defender and placedvdfab.exe as an exception, then this should take care of the problem? My ? is why is it happening now and has not had any effect in the years past? Will fab figure out a solution for this problem?
thankx

Link to the thread with several references to bitdefender being the problem due to compatibility issues with dvdfab.

From a thread/post last December.....

Hi,
I don't think it has to do with the Patin-Couffin - as I use the VSO-proggies and no blocking in Bitdefender.
I found that BitDefenders "Active Virus Control (AVC)" messes up with DVDfab.

64bit vista..bitdefender. since all is working for two of you should i just completely uninstall then reinstall? i truly have done nothing different as countless times before.

This seems to be a reoccurring problem for a few members for the past few releases.
For most it was the anti virus causing the problem.
I can't find the thread/post now but I think bitdefender was a problem for some.

It would be nice for the other poster to return and post his OS and anti virus.

The v8.0.8.2 is working fine for me on Win7 64, Kaspersky Internet Security.

It is working for me with XP pro and Avira .
That is why I was wondering what the first two poster were using.

With the lack of useful information not much can be done to figure out the problem.

What OS are you using?
What anti-virus are you using?
Did you install and run as Admin?

Need more information .
There must be a common link so need detailed information to find it.
