Have your friend try this for you with our Microstudio demo version. Please post here if it doesn't fix the problem.
For application software like CD Creator, Microstudio, CDRWIN, etc. to control an IDE or SCSI CD-Recorder on a Windows PC computer, you need an ASPI driver. Since Microsoft's WNASPI32.DLL ASPI drivers that come with Windows9x CD-ROMs appear to have the same file date (they all show version 1.00), it is risky to use this to distinguish the version.
To check the ASPI drivers on your computer, run Adaptec’s ASPICHK software:
ftp://ftp.adaptec.com/software_pc/aspi/aspichk.exe This usually suggests you update your SCSI drivers with their latest version from:
ftp://ftp.adaptec.com/software_pc/aspi/aspi32.exe This will replace all Adaptec ASPI drivers on your computer.
If you have a non-Adaptec SCSI host adapter card (or no SCSI card), the ASPI32.EXE program will refuse to update your WNASPI32.DLL driver.
IMPORTANT - The ASPI32.EXE only checks the presence of the SCSI port drivers for Adaptec hardware. Therefore, if you install the
drivers for an Adaptec host adapter card, their software
WILL - I REPEAT WILL do the upgrade.
IMPORTANT - Windows 95/98 allows installing a device driver whether or not you have the target hardware on your computer. Follow these steps:
[ol]
[li] Click the
Start button, then
Control Panel, then
Add New Hardware
[li] When the
Add New Hardware Wizard displays a device list for installation and asks for a selection, click
No, the device isn't in the list and click the Next button
[li] When the Wizard asks
Do you want Windows to search for your new hardware? click
No, I want to select the hardware from a list and click the
Next button
[li] In the
Hardware Types: list, scroll down and select
SCSI Controller and click the
Next button
[li] In the next dialog that appears, for Manufacturer: select
Adaptec and for Model: select
AHA-1510 SCSI Host Adapter and click the
Next button (do not click the [Have Disk...] button)
NOTE: After you have done through step 7 below, if the ASPI32.EXE program complains that an Adaptec SCSI Host is not found, do this again and select a different Model than AHA-1510. A Plug-and-play adapter has worked for some.
[li] Proceed with the Next and Finish buttons to end the Wizard. This procedure copies a low-level Adaptec SCSI driver from the Win9x setup source.
[li] Next, run ASPI32.EXE
ftp://ftp.adaptec.com/software_pc/aspi/aspi32.exe which should now install the necessary SCSI-related ASPI drivers on your computer
[li] Restart your computer to activate the new driver
