If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The whole reason to update ASPI is to get your system to "run like a bullet" so if you're already there - no need.

My moto precisly......

It seems pretty evident to me that it is the 'bugs' within the original ASPI that is compiled within the software used OR the compatibility with that layer and other ASPI installed applications that seem to be causing problems for a lot of people........I am probably wrong but it all seems to point in that direction..........

I have just sorted out a friends PC with a burner which would not work correctly with ANY ASPI related software........basically had to dump ALL ASPI related software and files and revert to the ATAPI structure....and now it's running a treat (on XP)........

The saga continues...................

Hi Baabaa,

You sure are, most people would love your setup on ATAPI, but most of the new hardware/software is using ASPI now and so thats why I tell people to install/update their ASPI.

Did you try Nero 6, as it uses ASPI?

#ed....
sorry did not manually remove them......uninstalled the proggies and ran the aspichk proggies to make sure they were removed.......

Koola
funnily enough his burner came with version 6....

It was the initial version (and not the lastest update) and guess what....no go....

Sometimes successful sometimes not........buffer under runs the lot......

They are running XP like mine (although PC specs are different).....

Checked out all the IDE connections/80 way ribbons/dma settings etc beforehand just to make sure there was nothing obvious being overlooked......

Anyways rather than downloading the latest updates etc....I decided to get rid of the ASPI stuff......only Nero had it on his machine so I knew there was not any conflicts with other ASPI related software.....

Put on Recordnowmax version 4 (very old) worked straight off the bat.....upgraded it to DX 4.5 and it is running smooth.....again no ASPI just ATAPI......

LOL....in fact I have uploaded the aspichk program and keep running it cos (especially with all the ASPI related issues here)I am still amazed that I still have no ASPI........

Just for curiousness....which is the latest OFFICIAL version of ASPI and does Nero use this official version (ie paid for the license to use it)?

Another question, lets say you had a proggie on running an older version of the ASPI and then installed a proggie running a newer version.....do you think there could be any conflicts caused by this when trying to run any of the proggies then?

Actually I must apologise to #Ed......sorry for leading your thread of topic....it maybe linked to your initial problem.....

Have you had any success yet?
