jcgriff2,

Thanks for the welcome and the quick reply.

Here is a quick definition of QTFairUse. I was attempting to bypass the DRM in order to move some music files to a non-Apple mp3 player.

"QTFairUse is a software application first released in November 2003 by Jon Lech Johansen. It dumps the raw output of a QuickTime AAC stream to a file, which could bypass the digital rights management (DRM) algorithm called FairPlay used to encrypt music content of media files such as those distributed by the iTunes Store, Apple's online music store. Although these resulting raw AAC files were unplayable by most media players at the time of release, they represented the first attempt at circumventing Apple's encryption. These early versions of QTFairUse would save only the "raw" AAC (not contained in an MPEG-4 (MP4) container), but later incarnations properly supported full conversions."

Regarding WERCON and the reliability monitor, I am unable to use the start menu because Windows Explorer is continually crashes. I don't have enough time to Restart explorer and type a command in the start menu. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can work around this?

AVG Anti-Virus is the software I use.
Also, I do not use a 3rd party firewall.

The problem started the day before yesterday. It seemed to start after I unzipped the QTFairUse file.

Your thoughts?
