I just helped a friend set up his Vista x64 system. He has nothing loaded on it except Office 2007, Kaspersky 2009, Roxio and FreeRIP. Even though Vista recognizes the audio CDs and autoplays them just fine, FreeRIP doesn't see them at all.

Is FreeRIP compatible with Vista x64? FreeRIP Pro?

I'm running FreeRIP on Vista 32-bit, no problem at all.
Just  wonder, do you have more than one cd/dvd-player/burner in your machine?

I also have Vista 64 and though it runs on Vista 32 fine on another machine, it won't on my new Vista 64.

I've got the same issue too - with latest FreeRip.

I've attempted to Grant CD rights, but it doesn't work - permanently greyed out (as per another thread on here: http://www.mgshareware.com/community/index.php/topic,799.0.html)

Any idea of what the issue is, or when it may be resolved? (Thanks for FreeRip, i'm a registered/paid up user).

Unfortunately we have no testbed with Vista 64 so we are not able to investigate the problem, at the moment.  Sad

I have gotten around this problem (I am running Vista x64 with FreeRIP Basic) by changing the properties on freerip3.exe.  Right click on the file, select properties.  Go to the "compatibility" tab and check "run this program in compatibility mode for."  I selected Windows 98/Windows ME (the option for Windows XP Service Pack 3 did nothing to improve the situation) and the program works just peachy now.

I hope this helps some of you fine folks out.

Cheers!

Yep, this is working for me - thanks muchly. I'm a bit of a vista newby... so I've learnt something new here. That said, XP had a 98/ME compatability mode for apps too - just Vista hides things so well these days. Ahh, excuses, excuses...

Thanks again.

If you enact this change and get a window titled "FROG ASPI" saying "This library only works with Windows XP/2K" on launch of FreeRIP, make sure that the "Force ASPI Use" checkbox (under Options...) is unchecked.

I have tried to follow these directions but I still get a hang up. Literally.

Once I have changed the compatibility settings to Windows 98 and restart the program, I get the messages:
Quote
This library only works in Windows 2K/XP or higher.

followed by

Quote
No CD/DVD libraries found on your computer. The using of this program is impossible.

When I click on the Settings icon, the previous message pops up again and the program locks up. I have only used Ctrl/Alt/Del to shut it down since nothing else seems to respond.

I've been having the same problem with my Vista 64 bit Laptop and found the best solution to be to check the "Run this program as an Administrator" box which is at the bottom of the Compatibility Tab. None of the Compatability Modes would work for me but as the error was to do with Administrator Rights this option seemed the obvious choice.

Oddly I did not have this problem with my previous laptop which was also running Vista 64 bit!

I've been trying to run FreeRip on Vista x64 (64-bit) for about 9 months now, and have tried dozens of fixes -- different compatibility settings, different CDROM settings. It's very iffy. Sometimes I can get it to run, then a week later it won't. It has run successfully under non-compatibility mode, then a while later, it won't. It's the darndest thing. Right now, it won't run regardless of which setting I give it. And note that the CD drive itself is fine: Vista recognizes and can open it, and Windows Media can access it and even Rip from it. I can't say for sure I know what's going on, but I'm pretty sure the fixes recommended in this thread isn't the final solution. Unless I'm missing something.

Thank you all for spending time trying different configurations.
I am in a bottleneck right now (too many things to do!), but I just got a W7 64bit system, so that I can debug FreeRIP on it.
I think the best option will be have a 64 bit version of FreerIP. This will take some time but I am sure it is the only way.

Well friends, I am trying Free Rip in Vista x32.

But it's not working. It's showing many errors...For example ( Dll. is not working and many more). I think I should re-install my Windows..
