What does it mean when you get an AR error, yet it still says 'Secure' with the green check mark?

Thanks.
It means the CD drive thinks the rip is error free, however the CD drive cannot be relied upon always. AccurateRip can be is the confidence is 2 or more.

So are there any settings that I can change that might eliminate the error?
It could be that it doesn't match the AR because your CD is from a different pressing, and that pressing is not yet in the AR database.
But it's only 2 of 19 tracks that have the error. The others would be erroneous too if the pressing were different, wouldn't they?
good point. With troublesome rips, I typically rip on a different drive to see if it works better. More often than not, a problem rip on one optical drive is just fine on another. (and these alternative drives can be cheap drives....price is not correlated with whether a specific drive will work better with some CDs. I use old drives pulled from computers they are trashing at work....)
It is, but if you're in the process of ripping your entire CD collection. One might not be able to listen to all the rips to ensure the ripping errors are not audible. Therefore I used secure ripping.
When there are errors, a good clean of the CD can give a better result. Sometimes I even used Brasso to polish the CD (if it had scratches).

I had previously used WMP to rip my CD's to wav (i got a new car stereo and wanted all my music without the hassle of physical disks).
to the credit of the person above, what i found was skips that WMP did not detect or otherwise report.
so i got DBPowerAmp and re-ripped everything, and a quarter my disks seemed to be corrupt in some fashion or another. DBPowerAmp let me know, so already its WAY better than WMP for ripping imho.
One thing stumped me though. one of my favorite disks couldn't rip the last song, i also got the "X AR (1) i Secure".
i wanted a flawless copy. so i bought the disk again. same error/same track on 2 different physical disks! why?
idk if we are allowed to put disk information in this forum, so certain information has been replaced with generic info.
