"I strongly recommend to keep AnyDVD running all the time. It fixes various problems with the Windows CD-ROM file system, prevents your drives to revert to PIO mode, does not require many CPU cycles and has a low memory footprint."

Thanks!!

When I first saw it, I was mortified at actually paying for what I considered to be a "simple driver". That misconception is still around today. I couldn't have been more wrong about what AnyDVD is and does. It's NOT a "simple driver" by any means and does a LOT for such a tiny footprint. He should be commended for what he was able to accomplish. AnyDVD is actually very brilliantly written. I'm a software engineer so I can appreciate the talent that went into writing it. Believe me, what he accomplished is NOT easy. All in all Slysoft deserves the money for AnyDVD and CloneDVD IMO. It's WELL earned!
