Adaptec ASPI in Win98 made a problem

I made a fresh installation of Win98SE with a dozen of standard programs. Among them were Easy CD-DA Extractor 5 and CDex 1.51.

ECDE recognized the CDROM drive (some Compaq IDE 32x drive, probably LG OEM), but the ripping was VERY slow, slower than 1x. I have tried two reliable CDs. I did not wait for any song to finish copying, so I do not know does it even actually copy the data or the silence only.

Whenever i tried to load CDex the whole system crashed (BSOD). So I read CDex's help. There it says that I must have ASPI drivers. It also states that Adaptec's are the best.

So I went onto Adaptec's site and downloaded the ASPI drivers, version 4.71, and installed them.

I rebooted the PC. Now I can start CDex without a problem, but there is NO CDROM drive in program's menu! The same problem arised with ECDE. Both programs now can not see the CDROM drive.


What went wrong? How to I fix this and set up the ripping to normal (above 1x of course)?

I have already tried that. I have removed the CDROM drive from the Device Manager, rebooted the PC, but nothing improved (the CDROM is still invisible to the ripping applications).

Even before I installed ASPI i tried the same thing to improve ripping speed, no success. The CDROM's interface mode is set to UDMA2 in BIOS, and the DMA option in Device Manager IS checked.

Any more suggestions? I need this to be fixed soon!

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the programs ?

I have not. I will try that, although I do not hope that it will solve anything.

In the meantime, do you have any more suggestions?

Did I perform the right thing by installing Adaptec ASPI? Is it really required for CD ripping applications to work in Win 9x?

I have solved the issue by installing ForceASPI. now everything works fine except the horrible ripping speed, but I have found it to be the drive's fault (another nec 52x drive works blazingly fast).

Thank you Philraz for all your help.
