Server 2003 Enterprise x86 Edition R2 SP2: Can't seam to figure this out nut got it nerrowed down. DVD Shrink will not start after installition of Any DVD and with DEP enabled for all programs (including exception for DVD Shrink.exe). on both a R2 Sp1 & Sp2. Then if I try to uninstall Any DVD v6.1.0.2 and restart I can no longer start DVD shrink on this install. If logged in "Safe Mode" it starts. So I then log in as usual and enable DEP for essential programs only then it can now start. This is fine since my XP Media Center is running the same DEP settings. However, If I want to utilize DEP for its best, what other programs and services do I need to now excuse to run DVD Shrink?

I have tested this on another single core (Intel x64 CPU) Intel !975 ATI Crossfire mobo and the same happened all over after Any DVD was instaled but if I change DEP to essential programs it starts. Any suggestions or leads to the right track?

Thanks in advanced,
