Smartripper HELP
 

I used to use Smartripper without problem, but lately i get the following message when it boots up:
ASPI Adapter available
trying to unlock drive
Error: no ASPI access to drive

Im using a 12x Sony DVD Drive (IDE) and am now getting errors when ripping and speed is about 10% of what it used to be. I've tried reinstalling, but doesnt seem to make a difference.

HELP PLEASE
thanks
