Please review the Makemkv on Win XP thread for a fix for this.

Please note MakeMKV 1.18.2 works. It started tanking on 1.18.3. All 4 of my WinXP x86 boxes have this problem. I searched for the error message and tried the various solutions to no avail. I'll look over your solutions. Thank you.

(Please also note I use WinXP x86 offline only to run all my old software. I use only my Linux Mint Debian Edition 7 boxes when online.)

Since this version doesn't work (like the previous two versions) with Windows XP X86 I'll assume it has been deprecated as has been warned within the working versions. Looks like 1.18.2 is the version I'll be using. The X86 version support ought to be pulled from the download area.
