Peter, I'll hunt around for you and see what I can find. I know first hand that I had a lot of currupted rips that resulted in no error warnings. It wasn't until I was listening to the mp3s that I'd hear the occational glitch. Installing ASPI fixed it. I never had the problem on non-NT based systems because they come with ASPI.

Maybe it's an EAC specific thing? EAC was writen only to work with ASPI? I'm not aware of any other programs that use a "secure mode" and that may also be specific to EAC.
