Installing DVD43 in Windows Vista 64
Last week I was trying to install DVD43 in my new Windows Vista 64bit machine but unfortunately I got an error that it is not compatible with windows 64bit version. For those who doesn’t know what a DVD43 is it’s a free DVD decrypter that will run in the background and unlock the copy protection your DVD before your DVD copying software can copy them.
I’ve tried to download the latest version of DVD43 but to no avail. I researched for any possible work around on how to install it in a 64bit machine but i found out that the developer of DVD43 haven’t created a version yet that will work with the 64bit version. So I guess the best alternative for those who are running windows 64bit is AnyDVD but unfortunately this program is not for free. Goodluck!
