I did check on this as you suggested and it was already selected on my computers. DVD Fab was listed there with check marks about 25 times. Is this normal? Thanks..

Hi rankster91
Yes,
A couple of hours ago I took an old computer that I have with XP SP2, Installed the latest version of Fab ripped and viewed a movie from the HDD using VLC.
Even had my friend 90312 fool with some settings on his XP machine and could not get Fab to Not work

Let me throw a rig together tonight and get Windows up and running on it and try a few things. I'll post those results as soon as I can. I'll use some different hardware configurations and drivers to see if that has impact. Thanks for your help!!

Maybe so but I do not think that is the case. More people are having pretty much the same issue as I am having and only with QT. I'm sure it will get resolved in future updates.

You have 3 identical builds and the QT versions won’t run on any of them wouldn’t you conclude that it is a hardware issue? If the W7 build is identical to the three XP builds then it is hardware+XP. I just installed 8.0.9.2 QT on my XP system and it’s both hunky and dory.

QT does work fine on Windows 7 for me and it does have different hardware. Maybe I did jump to soon to it not being a hardware issue. I'll install Windows 7 on that same config and see if it still happens.

I was praying that my old XP rig would not install and run Fab so that I would have something to work with, but it worked, and my main computer with Vista is running great.

Ok, I took my XPsp3 test rig and removed the HDD and replaced it with a new one. I installed XP SP2 and then 8092QT and it ran. I'm wondering if it may have something to do with SP3 or one of the many MS updates after that. I'll try SP3 and then get the rest of the updates one by one to see if I kind find the one giving me the problem. Now I really don't think it's a hardware issue.

I have XP with SP3 with all current updates and I am running v8092 Qt without any problems.

I had a major problem with 8.0.9.2 QT I couldn't get it to load and run on my main system which I use only for DVDFab applications. My main system was Windows XP Pro SP3 and I thought it was strange. So I went to my second machine same O/S and it installed and ran no problems. I went to my 3rd machine same O/S and it installed and ran as well? I had old version of DVFFab starting from V5 up to V8 and it looked like my register had old settings that I couldn't remove from it. I had directories that DVDFab didn't remove after uninstalling older versions and it left files in them. SO after trying to clean out my register with no luck. I did a clean install of the O?S on my DVDFab machine installed the new version and it ran no problems? So strange if you ask me.

Also the hardware was the same on the 3 systems so it wasn't a hardware issue.

Make sure you download CCEnhance because CCleaner doen't remove all. Thats why they came out with cthe CCenhance add on.

As a side note, Piriform (makers of ccleaner) does not endorse or support ccenhancer. Use at your own risk.

Installed SP3 and all updates and QT8092 is now running on my test rig. Don't know what the issue was before but it's running now. Now on to my other XP sp3 rigs.

Hi Frankster91
You seem to know your way around computers and I hate to ask but, do you do weekly maintenance on all your rigs eg. Defragment Your Disk Drive and use scan disk on your HDD.
Also are all or any video cards have their most recent drivers.

I don't mind you asking at all CBR929. Yes Sir, I have a slew of computers that I maintain every week or two with all that maintenance fun. I keep the drivers and software up-to-date as well. That's more of a full time job then the one I get paid for doing, lol. I've been building and working on them since the early nineties.

This issue is stumping me for the moment but I will find it and correct it. I will post what I do that fixes the (My) problem as soon as I can narrow it down.
Thanks!!

Thanks for your hard work
It is just weird that it is only affecting XP users, but not all users.

Hey, no problem. Yes it is strange, working on it though..

Ok, this is what I've done thus far today on my other XP sp3 rig.
1.uninstalled DVD Fab 8085 and rebooted.
2.Ran CCleaner and removed entries for DvdFab and rebooted.
3.Deleted DvdFab folder from My Documents and from Program files on the C; drive.
4.Deleted Prefetch files for DVD Fab and rebooted.
5.Manually searched the registry and found a lot of entries for Dvd Fab and I deleted every one that I found and rebooted.
6. Re ran CCleaner and researched the registry and found no more things relating to Dvd Fab.
7.Installed QT 8092 but with the same issues as before.(Won't complete install).
8. Opened task manager and killed DVDFab.exe. Then the install completed but the program will not open.
9. Opened task manager again and killed DVDFab.exe again.

This is where it gets strange. I started downgrading QT8092 to QT8091etc,etc, having the same issue until I got to QT 8087. It completed the install and would run. Then I tried upgrading up one version and it would fail to run again.

Still working on it though.
