Hey guys,

just thought I'd point out a weird thing during one of my conroe builds. When I installed 3dmark06, it ran fine on my system with a samsung sh-182d dvd ram drive. After installation of slysoft's anydvd, the 3dmark06 will freeze up windows during the initial load process when it is scanning the system hardware. If I uninstall the anydvd then reboot, 3dmark06 will work again. Also if I unplug the dvd ram drive with anydvd installed, 3dmark06 will work again. Anyone want to buy an 18x dvd ram drive? Just kidding about the sale, but unusual, huh?

anydvd is a hit and miss driver. Even when it works it still messes up something. Anydvd can cause negative reactions with your hardware.

Yeah just upgraded to the newest nvidia driver 93.71 (Nov. 02) today. This one is more incompatible with anydvd. I actually have to exit anydvd or it will just stop running 3dmark05 and 3dmark06 somewhere in mid run...:cool:
