I installed MC9.1 a few weeks ago and all was well, I was merrily ripping my 350+ collection of CD's.... my drive is a Plextor 40x CDRW installed in an ADS Pyro external drive case..... using secure mode, WMA lossless, simultaneous rip/encode/analysis.... P4 3ghz, XP Pro SP1... I upgraded my video drivers (ATI Catalyst 3.4 to 4.2) and at the same time changed the Plextors drive letter from F: to G:(this caused MC to re-evaluate the drive).... suddenly, I started to get Input File Read Errrors unless I disabled simultaneous rip/encode and I had to quit MC between rips, the rip would stall at "initializing".... using that blessed System Restore and much registry searching, I found the following:
1) Under HKLM\SOFTWARE\JRiver\MediaJukebox\CD Reader
Old works: LastCDROMType-F: 2,0,,0
New broken: LastCDROMType-G: 2,1,,0,1197168
2) Old works: Under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\SBP2\ADS_Technologies_Inc._&1394_Storage+Repeater_&LUN0\0050c5015001a26c\Device Parameters\Classpnp
MMCDetectionState dword:00000002
New broken: this entire key is missing!
I edited the new "LastCDROMType-G: 2,1,,0,1197168" value to read "LastCDROMType-G: 2,0,,0" , restarted MC and now it works fine!!! Can anyone tell me what this key value represents and possibly why this happened??? Are my rips okay? ?
