What is it with the PlexTools I keep hearing about? I have a 40/12/40 A model which I bought just after Xmas, and it has a software CD, revision 2.02. I don't see any "PlexTools" on it, rather, there is Roxio, Stomp, Liquid Player, etc.

Where can I get the rumoured "PlexTools" that work wonders with copy-disabled CD's?

Oh yeah an CD Res-Q gives me a missing file error and doesn't work, and the update on the site is an OLDER version which doesn't recognize my newer version.

What a bunch of assclowns!

Is Plextor Manager 2000 anything like PlexTools?

Nope, still called Plextools and latest version is 1.20a

Get it here

To install full version from the upgrade version:
Plextools Registry Trick

Tells you a lot about your Plextor drive as well as tons of configurable options and automatic correction of offsets (based on Andre Wiethoff's reference offset)

NeoRenegade- long time (reiko at AG site)- if that doesn't work for you let me know, I can figure out a way to help you get a 'copy' of the early plextools , which will allow you to update from that. As written here before, by others, Plextor manager is the inferior N. American version we got stuck with when we bought on this side of the Atlantic. The new version of Plextools is truly superior. Hope that registry trick works for you- if not let me know. After all, you helped me out enough times! -cadabra3
p.s. don't forget to uninstall the manager before installing the Plextools

At CDFreaks Forum you'll find something for sure.

Nice to see you here, Reiko/cadabra. Much thanks, MRPR and tirge. Got Plextools 1.05 and upped to 1.20.
