Problems with AMD64 and RAID drives with Plextor ???

If this still did not fix it, there seems to be some problem with our ASPI driver and your system.

Search your computer for the file wnaspint.dll and delete this file. It should be located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.

Then try using the Adaptec drivers located in this FAQ: http://www.mtu.com/support/faq/faq-m...mportDiscError

This is below Solution 1.

If this still won't work, there is something wrong with your system and the software will not work on it.

By the way the Registry values are reset every time you close Microstudio. It resets them with any new selections.

This error doesn't have anything to do with the Registry though, it is dealing with the ASPI, which is a driver on the system, not a setting.

OK, thanks for that info on the registry.

How about if there were some leftover registry items that might not be removed with an uninstall? Or perhaps any other Microstudio files or settings not removed during uninstall? Perhaps if I can do a total wipeout of Microstudio before reinstalling it, it might work. Has this ever happened before?

As for the ASPI, I can confirm, as before, that wnaspint.dll does not exist anywhere on my computer and that I installed the Adaptec drivers. See my other post with attached GIF showing that they are correctly installed.

You are correct that the software doesn't work. Whether it indicates my machine is "broken" I'm not so sure of, since, again as I've stated before, several other CD/DVD authoring programs work perfectly including Nero, iTunes, WindozMedia, MusicGiants, Quicktime, RealPlayer. That doesn't sound like a broken machine to me...

CD/DVD authoring programs work perfectly including Nero

If you have nero installed it can sometimes cause problems with microstudio

Wow gduns, that's a bummer... most popular and powerful CD/DVD writer craps out MicroStudio... I'd hate to have to go back to Roxio. Now THAT was a nasty program that affected the stability of a lot of stuff, including XP.

It's too bad that we keep coming around to the "everything else is broken except MTU products" conclusion. That sounds too much like the tail wagging the dog..

I'm still holding out for an ASPI investigation by our intrepid software authors.

I appreciate your continued help.

Was that the Problem??

I have the roxio 7.0 on a couple of machines, and they work fine.

I have no idea if Nero is the problem or not. But I do know that I'm not going back to Roxio. Nero is also a better all round solution for my purposes, so it would be crazy for me to switch back. Plus, it doesn't affect any other player/burner that I have... Then there's the little matter of dumping a perfectly good $100 piece of software, buying another $100 piece of software, all to test if Microstudio doesn't play nice with either one.

I dunno... maybe I'm crazy... just keep hoping Bryan and Dave decide to do the right thing. But after they chopped off my other thread at the knees after telling me to "Get Real Man", I'm not so sure that's going to happen.

By the way, the impression they leave that the website plainly states that an Athlon FX-60 is not supported is simply not true... go check it out. The statement is more of a "minimum standards" list. There's nothing in there to state that there's some ceiling beyond which they do not support hardware. In fact, they plainly state that they support Athelon (sic) processors (with no upper limit), so I do not know what the rant was for.

So we have me and a couple others with similar hardware and we're out in the cold and our posts are "locked" and we're told to "Get Real"...

Ho-kay... where's that Cool-Aid jug, I need a sip.
