This Prog Is Not Responding

[moen]

Lately I have been getting this message a lot. Especially if I have a prog up but not active in it for a few minutes. Then when I want to do something nothing moves and after a few secondsthe grey screen comes up saying " this Prog is not responding" AND 2 CHOICES END IT NOW or WAIT.
I use WinXP SP1 Corp edition

It happens in IE, and many dif programs. AND I think it has gotten worse just in the last few mos.

Any suggestions???

I went into Event viewerand found a few types of errors
Under SYSTEM
ATI WDM Specialized PCD Codec failed to start...this one shows up about 8 dif times over the last week, and it is always showing 4 consequtive uccurences each time
Device, \CD Rom !, has a bad block

Under SECURITY
No errors showing at all

Under APPLICATIONS
Hanging App dvdxcOPY VER 1.5.2 ....ABOUT 20 TIMES
Fault bucket 44229261 ...showed up 1 TIME
NMain.exe VER 6.5.2.806 ...A FEW TIMES
Luall.exe ver 2.0.39.0 several times
CTP2brwser.exe ver 3.0.5.0 few times

Do any of these events likely cause the Not Responding??

Did you block internet acces for dvdxcopy?

to roadworker....I purchased this prog and it is registered legit.

Mainly, I am interested in knowing whether others have had the " Not responding" window come up more often lately???

nope. non responding message never really comes up for me; definately a software conflict causing it..
I'd be suspicious of any codec pack you recently installed;
by the way, upgrade your dvd xcopy to the latest version, 3.2.1, which may help if it's a codec issue.
I bet that "ATI WDM Specialized PCD Codec" is the culprit.

You may want to try and uninstall that and see if anything different happens.
Codec conflicts are often the problem; can you still play movies normally, still being able to adjust the color and saturation, and move the position of the movie forward by using the slider? If not, then I bet you have some conflicting codecs, and that is adding to the errors you are seeing.

to wase4711....
This not responding has been happening for the last year, but seems to have gotten worse in the last 2 mos.

It has happened a fair bit with DVDXCopy , but i have only experimented with DVDXcopy since Xmas, when I got the DVD burner
Latest ver of DVDXCopy is 1.5.2, and DVDXCopy Platinum is a different program and its latest version is 321.

Anyway I solved the DVDXcopy problems but I still get the NOT responding glitch sometimes
Do you think the "V" relates to the ATI radeon 8500dv, which I did install in Nov,2002, which mioght be the time this not responding started?
