you have to download a different aspi driver. go to nero.com and download the file to your system 32 folder. nero is the only aspi file that will work with external usb devices. I know because I had the same problem.this is how you download it. you need to save it don't try to run or open it. all you need to do is get a copy of this file on your computer into the system32 folder on your computer. do not try to run the file. to get to your system32 folder you need to go to your "my computer" then go to your "local drive c" then to the "windows" folder then you go to the "system32" folder and copy the file right in there. it may ask if you want to over write a file already there. select yes. you also have to be using windows nt, 2000, or xp. after you have done the above, open microstudio and click on drives select aspi drivers then select "use the default driver" you have to close then reopen microstudio to take effect. nero's website is "ftp://ftp6.nero.com/wnaspi32.dll" then download the file. I hope this works for you, it did for me because i also have an external usb plextor. you might also want to invest in golden hawk technology's cdrwin version 3.9c. you can extract individual tracks from a cd+g karaoke or audio cd, instead of the whole cd, and copy them to an image file in your hard drive. and it works with khp. it's great. i hope i have been some help to you.
