When Anydvd will not do

[oldshepp]

I am using Clone DVD ver 1.3.11.2 and AnyDVD ver 3.2.1.1 on a 98 OS

Recently I have been having problems with the combination. Clone DVD will rip the disc without any problems but when I insert the blank media AnyDVD seems to freeze. Even if I close it down I cannot use Clone DVD to burn without a reboot.

I'm sure I used to be able to use the two when they first released a 98 friendly version of AnyDVD, but I'm wondering if I've got the settings all wrong.

All I do when I upgrade AnyDVD is use default settings and change the region code to 4.

I have changed media but I would be shocked if this was the problem. The disks I use are always cheap but not too nasty

Any ideas or similar experiences anyone?
