I have been using a licensed copy of Express Rip on Windows XP for many years. Love it.
I just changed to a new Windows 7 64 Bit Virtual Machine on a Windows 7 64 Bit OS Dell Precision M6500.
I installed as usual, started up Express Rip Version 1.81 and when I put in my audio CD, it says Loading CD Information (Not Responding) and it locks up tight. So tight, I can't even kill it with the task manager. I have to shut down my virtual machine and even then it is still locked. I have to power it off (which makes it all very unhappy). I have tried this 5 or six times with the same result
