CD Ripper multiple errors after Windows reinstallation

[xerophyte]

Just tried to use the ripper for the first time following Windows reinstall (yes I do seem to do that a lot).
The first attempt the ripper read the CD and asked me to configure Accurate Rip, which it did successfully. It then suggested I rip the CD to fully test the system, which I agreed to, seeing I had it open to rip the CD anyhow. It then stopped after two tracks, the errror message said something about not finding core converter.exe. (Sorry should have copied to clipboard)
Thinking it was a problem with the CD (which is well used) I aborted the rip, then succesfully ripped with WMP.
I tried dBpoweramp CD Ripper with another disk and it tells me it cannot find a CD drive. It found one ten minutes earlier (and WMP found 2!) so what is the problem here?:(

Your system does not sound healthy at all (missing coreconverter, multiple CD drives).

Hi Spoon,
You may be right about my system, I am not entirely happy with various aspects of it since the reinstallation.
The reason that WMP found 2 CD drives is that one is a virtual drive installed by power ISO.
Is not coreconverter part of dMC?
I am going to attempt an unistall, reboot and re install.
There is some little utility program you have to remove the final vestiges of dMC settings. I thought I had saved it last time but can't find it. Would you be able to post a link please. If I am going to uninstall then I mean to uninstall completely, only way to ensure a clean start.

Re: CD Ripper multiple errors after Windows reinstallation

Hi Spoon,
You were right about my system being buggy, however after another clean install I have exactly the same problem, ie the first time I insert a CD to rip it recognises my drive, wants to calibrate Accurate Rip and asks for me to rip the CD to verify Accurate Rip. Then it produces an error after two tracks "Unable to find coreconverter.exe". This time I did copy the error report to the clipbaord but it went walkies before I could copy to a notepad.
And now it is not able to see any CD drive.
So same problem, and coreconverter.exe is part of DMC so I would appreciate your thoughts.

Have a look in C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpoweramp

to see if you can see CoreConverter?

Re: CD Ripper multiple errors after Windows reinstallation

Hi Spoon,
Looked in C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpoweramp and CoreConverter is there.
Just to bring you up to date, I had a world of trouble with my last instalation (despite being the administrator I was denied access to just about the whole computer) so another Windows reinstall has been done. This time I installed security software before going on line to Windows Update, and the install seems to be clean.
The latest with dMC is that the CD Ripper now sees the ONE real CD drive, but does not "see" the CD in it. Also attempted an ID tag update earlier this morning (to add cover art), and I got error messages that mentioned CoreConverter.
Running AV scan right now, but the last was clean. My last scan with Spybot showed no malware, and Malwarebytes also showed the system to be clean.
Want me to upload the CoreConverter to you?:confused:

If it is there then it is being blocked, potentially by your security software.

Re: CD Ripper multiple errors after Windows reinstallation

Hmm ...
Firewall is Comodo, AV is Symantec, and I also use Spybot.
I have been using these apps for some time, with no impact on dMC that I have noticed.
Which do you think is the likely culprit?

Re: CD Ripper multiple errors after Windows reinstallation

Reisntall Windows (full format of HDD and fresh install) - do not connect to the internet install dBpoweramp and try ripping. If later it stops working after installing a forementioned program then you have found the culprit.

Re: CD Ripper multiple errors after Windows reinstallation

Not likely,
I have installed Windows 4 times in a month, one of the reinstallations was due to going online with no security software.
I will try disabling them and let you know the results.
