dmc doesn't close

[reflector]

i have a problem sometimes trying to close dmc - the cancel button doesn't work, hitting the 'x' in the upper right to close the box doesn't work, and even using ctrl-alt-delete and then killing the process seems to take several tries.

this seems to be a problem more often when dmc is stuck on ripping a cd - i borrow cds from the library to rip and often they are quite scratched, and when i notice dmc has been sitting for an hour and making no progress i try to kill it but it usually doesn't work.

any solution? using win98se.

All I can say is ensure that you're using the latest release of dBpowerAMP. (Release 9) Way back in Release 4 there was a bug where dBpowerAMP wouldn't close after it had been used.

This problem can often be a hardware thing, dMC will ask to rip X sectors, some CD drives will try-try-try on bad CDs, thus locking up the PC.

That is what they are trying to do on these copy protected CDs, nothing I can do.
