Carlos,

What is probably happening is a lower level driver needed replacing.
Most of the times they can get the higher level drivers for the video to
install and start-up easily and they are usually compatible with the
older lower level drivers.... What was happening was a small
incompatibility with the older lower level drivers that can't be
replaced until the system reboots and the higher level drivers.

James,
Your explanations sounds logical.
It didn't disturb me much in two of the three installations.
The "two" ones were in PC's with LCD monitors attached via DVI and VGA.
The "third" (annoying) one was in my custom made home theater PC connected
via HDMI.
The driver installation caused a blue (not BSOD, just "no signal") screen on
the TV so I had to figure out when the driver had finished installing and
then press the reset button.
Driver installed fine.

Jim,
There's a new kid in the block, competing with AnyDVD HD.
It is DVDFab Passkey:

Freeware while it is in beta stage.
I wonder what the final price will be.
I have not tested it, though.

Interesting, though I'm not sure why I'd want to move to it over the SlySoft
product, given I already paid for that and they seem quite concientious
about updating it. But it's always good to see other folks doing this.
