Aspi_Win2000.exe

"Thnx guys, i was looking for this file for 3 weeks now, but seems that there was some problem with the version available in the adaptec site"

"Thank u çàðàíåå, going 2 try"

"It looks like some people are having a lot of trouble with this wnaspi32.dll thing so I thought that I would add my two cents worth. I just downloaded the ZIP executable and yes it does just flash up and disappear. For everyone's information in Win2k it copies the contents to C \Documents and Settings\(your current login name)\Local Settings\Temp. Within the Temp folder you'll find the WINNT folder with the System and System32 folders inside. If instead of double clicking the ZIP file, you right-click it and select 'Open with Winzip' then select 'Extract' and select somewhere where you'll remember where you put them. As mentioned above, copy the two files in the 'System' folder to the C \WINNT\System folder and copy the wnaspi32.dll from the 'System32' folder to C \WINNT\System32 and from within the 'Drivers' folder (which you'll notice is inside the 'System32' folder) copy Aspi32.sys to C \WINNT\System32\Drivers. Now you may find everything is fine and dandy at this point but I didn't as I got an error stating 'Incorrect ASPI installation' (or something like it). Prior to all this I had noticed that from my NER0 5.5 install I had a copy of WNASPI32.DLL (all in caps) sitting at C \Program Files\Ahead\Nero\WNASPI32.dll and being that it's way more recent than the one I downloaded from this site (169KB 23/10/2001 as opposed to 44KB 10/09/1999) I copied this over to the C \WINNT\System32 directory and hey presto everything works fine and Nero still works. So if you're having problems download the latest copy of NERO from www.ahead.com, install it copy the WNASPI32.DLL from the location mentioned above and uninstall NERO (if you don't want to keep it that is) and you should be in business."

"Worked PERFECTLY for me... opened exe with winzip and dragged each file into it's respective directory. Can't get any easier than that! Much Obliged!"

"For windows NT, 2000 and XP winaspi troubles, look at www.nu2.nu/aspi/"

"Didn't work the first time through. The files are in the right places, but they have to be entered into the registry to work corectly. I had to use the driver upgrade from adaptec to register the files. The info for doing this can be found here www.cyrus.troy.btinternet.co.uk/yaa2.htm"

"hey, i am running windows 2000 professional edition and ant seem to find the WINNT folder....can someone pls tell me how to do it in windows 2000 professional"

"I tried installing this driver on my Win XP PRO , but it didnt help at all is there a special ASPI Manager for XP??? Please reply to my email siblim@hotmail.com"

"INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALL "wnaspi32.dll" -------------------------------------- Inorder to intall ASPI MANAGER files, you must download that "Aspi_Win2000.exe" file and unzip it using 'Winzip', but do not double click it by assuming .exe file, after that follow the instructions as I mentioned below Copy the individual files into the respective locations of the Operating Systems files. 1). Copy the TWO files from 'system' folder to C \WINNT\System 2). Copy the the files from 'system32' folder to C \WINNT\System32 ASPI ---- APSI typically provides the fastest and highest quality ripping. However, for some CD-ROM drives, ASPI may be unavailable or may not perform as expected. If the ASPI tab is unavailable, an ASPI manager is not loaded (wnaspi32.dll). When running on Windows NT, AudioCatalyst reads data using ASPI calls for both IDE and SCSI CD-ROMs. Unfortunately, the ASPI manager is not distributed with Windows NT, so you may need to install one. If you have a SCSI drive, you probably already have an ASPI manager installed. If you do not have an ASPI manager, you can download this one"

"In order for this to work properly, unzip using WinZip to a folder of your choice. It will create a folder called WINNT. Double click on the folder. You should now see 2 folders, SYSTEM and SYSTEM32. Double click on the SYSTEM folder. Copy winaspi.dll to your Win2k SYSTEM folder (usually C \WINNT\SYSTEM). Go up one level and double click on the SYSTEM32 folder. You should see a folder called DRIVERS and a file called winaspi32.dll. Copy winaspi32.dll to your Win2k SYSTEM32 folder (Usually C \WINNT\SYSTEM32). Now double click on the DRIVERS folder. Copy the aspi32.sys file to your Win2k System32 Drivers folder (Usually C \WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS. Now your done. Stop whining about the file just flashing!!! If you don't know anything about computers you shouldn't be messing around with this stuff anyway."

"THIS DOESNT WORK>>>I AM RUNNING WIN 2000....i downloaded it and then when i click on it...it flashes on the screen but doesnt stay up long enough for me to unzip...."

"i had a problem i downloaded it and i went to click and bring it up and it comes up for a second and goes away it wont stay up long enough for me to read it??????"

"Thx alot. This did it for me )"

"use open with winzip option not the double click"

"I don't know why, but it didn't work for me. I'm running win2k, so if anyone out there can tell me why or what to do to get it to work, I'd appreciate it."

"wow, thanks was looking all over for this"
