New operating system and associated bugs

[Cid_cat]

Help!
I recently purchased Windows 2000 Professional edition (because it's based on the NT platform). I decided to install it and reinstall all of my other software. So far, all has gone well, except Microstudio. The error I get is as follow:

Error - Unable to initialize the ASPI Manager
ASPI Manager was not found on system

I've looked at all of the posts concerning ASPI drivers and none contained this particular error message. My DirectX verison is 8.0 and I install Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.02 with both working fine under Windowsm 98 SE. I've tried following the ASPI CHK routine and doing an install of a SCSI controller (even though I don't have one) with no luck.

My new machine has an Asus with a PIII 733
512 Meg of RAM (Do you need anything else)

Anyone have any ideas??
