Anydvd and sandisk cruzer micro

Davidstjohn3

I was wondering why anydvd affects my usb thumbdrive it's a sandisk cruzer micro 1GB and when I have anydvd running in the backround it doesnt let the cruzer run the software on it. Like I have U3 software on the thumbdrive that auto lauches when I insert the thumbdrive but if i have anydvd running it crashes the thumbdrive and I have to completely reinstall the U3 software on it. I currently have anydvd v6.1.0.2 and rund windows XP home oem emachines version. and 1 GB ram.

Where do you find U3 software?

For your problem try holding Shift Key down when you plug it in.

It's probably a driver conflict. However, I do not have this problem with my Cruzer Micro w/U3 software and AnyDvd Setup.

@Rolling56: U3 software is the file/program management software that some Sandisk USB drives use, it's factory installed. You may be able to download it at sandisk.com.

The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness.

Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.

The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them-words shrink things that seemed limitless when in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for the want of an understanding ear. - Stephen King, intro to "The Body."

This is a known problem, the SanDisk Cruzer U3 stick emulates a CD-ROM drive, but does it quite badly. As a result AnyDVD assumes it is an AudioCD instead of a Data CD. Next AnyDVD version (6.1.0.5 or better) will have a workaround.

Summary for drive M: (AnyDVD 6.1.0.5)
USB FLASH MEMORY 6.50
Drive (Hardware) Region: free

Media is a Data CD.
Total size: 8463 sectors (16 MBytes)

Yes the beta allowed the software to load. I had it unticked in the released version but it still was freaking out when I put it in. No biggie as I just stopped anydvd to use the drive. I did receive an error saying I need to close a program before it could eject the drive figuratively speaking So this may be another issue? I can post the error if you need to see it. And nothing was opened from using the drive just popped it in to see if this fixed it.

Reason i asked when i got my Sandisk Cruiser 1G on Black Friday it came with U3 and i got rid of U3 as quick as i could. Now with people having problems with it i was looking around to see if i can put it back on. Thanks they do have it at Sandisk.com and it worked

Works fine here James. I've unpluged and pluged it in several times. I have not rebooted since installing 6.1.0.5. Will reboot later and try it.

Edit: Works fine after rebooting no problems. U3 launches fine.

James I was unable to navigate my PC to it froze.



I had to manually power off the PC.

SlySoft

Please try this version:
http://sandbox.slysoft.com/SetupAnyDVD6106.exe

AnyDVD will completely disable all access to the stick as soon as it detects, that it is not a "real" CD or DVD.

I hope this finally solves the problem.

This allowed the eject feature but for some reason it didn't remove it from the taskbar?????? no errors though, and isn't showing in the running processes either.

SlySoft

I don't believe this "taskbar problem" is related to AnyDVD.
If you don't object, for me this case is closed.

@James:
One thing i did notice. In the Status and Drive > Selection shows my serial number for one of my drives now using 6.1.0.6. It did not do that before.

Ok here goes , I used the version you said v6.1.0.6 beta, I can't seem to get it to do anything until I disable anydvd then U3 loads without a problem. I gues I will just disable it from now on when I want to use my U3. Or until there is a good solution thankyou for trying.

Davidstjohn3

Ok nI have restarted since and everything is working as it should, I can plug in my U3 sandisk and it lauches without a problem and when I eject , no problems either. Thankyou james...I honestly didnt expect such a quick response from here for this nor did I think slysoft themselves would be the ones solving it thanks again...

alan1476

Quick responses and good service and a great program, what more can one ask? Good work James.

If you are having this issue then it isn't anydvd, I thought it was with my issue too on the ejecting ordeal, I did a clean install and with or without anydvd running it works properly.
