Yes, I read all the discussions about ASPI drivers, and there is no final word as I can see. We're always told to get latest drivers/patches/updates etc.etc.
So, I installed the newest ASPI. Now I read that there are problems?? with XP even??
Some say go back to 4.60 ...same as ForceASPI ??
Even link to Force ASPI now says..."get latest Adaptec ASPI instead!!!??? Come on....what do we make of all this. I cant burn a working VCD or mp3 disc lately. Please...anyone feel confident in making the correct fix here?

The problem that everyone is having with the adaptic aspi drivers in winxp and win2000 is that they don't make all of the required reg entries........
1. Check you previous installation
* run ASPICHK (included in the aspi_v471.exe )
* if WOWPOST.EXE or WINASPI.DLL show up and you are running winXP then search
for those files in your windows directory (inc subdirs and hidden files)
and DELETE them they are not needed for aspi on XP.
Use the INSTALL.BAT to install after unzipping to make sure the
correct files only are installed.
3. Windows NT/2K/XP MUST have these reg keys added if they aren't allready,
otherwise some apps ( EAC, audiocatalyst, CDRWIN )wont show any aspi devices at all :
double click the included .reg file to add these if you are not
experienced editing the registry, as the adaptec installer
currently doesn't set all of these up, this is the source
of everyones problems.
4. reboot.
This has worked on EVERY XP/2K box I've tried
but, if it still doesn't work, try changing "Start"=dword:00000002
to "Start"=dword:00000001 in the .reg file then run it again,
and then reboot.
if you don't want to go thru all of this then the url below will take you to his (yakumo's) site and you can pick up the included little file (I have it but can't put it in this thread) that will do it for you......
