I am able to rip a cd in Windows 2000 only when I'm logged on as administrator. When I first logged in as a user, the cd tracks wouldn't even pop up. It said "no cd". Then I went into the registry and opened things up a bit. I was then able to view the tracks, but it wouldn't let me rip them. I've tried a few cds, and none of them seem to work. Any ideas?

A possible problem may be the location of the output folder.
By default normal users do not have write access to the /Program Files/ directory tree. Perhaps if you create a new output folder elsewhere (like in your /documents and settings/xyz_User/My Documents/ folder) and have CD-DA Xtractor write to that folder then you may be able to write.
Good Luck!

If you don't have an ASPI manager installed, then you must have admin priveleges. It's because the security was "tightened" in Win2K, and to send low-level commands to the drive using SCSI passthrought, you now need to have admin access. Under NT4 you could issue SCSI passthrough commands as a normal user.

The only way around this in Win2000 or XP would be to develop the AKRip library as a Windows Service. This is because Windows Services are loaded before the user profile on launch and thus can have Admin privliges (referred to as System privliges) while running within the context of any user. Unfortunately, no development has been done on this project in a few years so It's highly unlikely we will see this in the future.
