BD Ripper (3D Plus) 9.0.3.3 Several issues (drop-downs, CPU, Ripper hangs)

[colossus71]

I still have the following issues with 9.0.3.3 as I did with 9.0.3.2. These all cropped up after 9.0.3.1. If I re-install 9.0.3.1 everything works fine.

* SAME issue with the drop down lists not expanding in 9.0.3.3 (see: http://forum.dvdfab.com/showthread.php?t=21365)

* SAME issue with high CPU when I select Ripper (see: http://forum.dvdfab.com/showthread.php?t=21374)

* NEW issue (or I didn't notice it last time) -- when I select a different title in Ripper it hangs completely (see Pic)

Notes
-----
- Tried this as an upgrade from 9.0.3.1 and on a FRESH INSTALL of Windows 8 Pro 64 + patches, no other older installs of DVDFab exists (or any other software besides DVDFab)
- I've tried using a ripped BDMV & DVD structure from my HDD and also from BDMV & DVD source discs

Specs
------

Dell Inspiron 545
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz

Try selecting SPTI I/O mode instead of Auto in Settings.

Didn't seem to have any effect.

Tried with new installer...still same.

Working now... Did another complete OS install, this time not from image but from DVD install. Now it's working as it should.

CORRECTION: I've reproduced this issue!!!

CORRECTION -- I've reproduced this issue! And found the culprit...

Installation of the application 'Splashtop Streamer', the server-side component to the iPad/iPhone app 'Splashtop 2' is what breaks DVDFab versions 9.0.3.2 and 9.0.3.3.

The application installs a service that the iDevice remote desktop app connects to. Much like a customized VNC setup. Once installed, the drop down lists in Ripper breaks. Uninstall it and everything works perfectly.

Hope this helps!!!
