I've been watching this thread - perhaps you can download the Translator 
demo, run it, and send me the log file that it produces (in the Logs folder 
in the Translator folder).

Did you disable the old CD-DVD driver and enable the new one? Also, what is 
that new driver named? Is it 1.3.5? Are you trying non-Mixed mode disks and 
well as Mixed Mode ones? Are the CD's scratched up or are they clean? Are 
they even Akai S-1000/3000 CD's - could they be S-5000 or Pulsar ones? 
(Those don't work in the EXS convertor)

Have another CD-ROM Drive?

Any particular reason to stay with 9.1?

Otherwise... Happy Mothers Day
