Windows 2000 Assembly Final CDG Burn

[Dean]

Since our purchase of many of MTU's software. we have had total success in every application we have done. We give you a FIVE STAR rating, your software is the best available in this field by far, your dedication and personal sacrifices to make this software a success is in the highest of standards. Please keep up the good work, but as technology moves up, so must the OEM's.

Well, I updated one of my systems over to Windows 2000, and followed your instructions to the letter, but I missed something, and it's driving me crazy, because I normally can fix all the little problems. When I assemble songs from different CDG's and start to write it will only go to about 10% to 15% completed, then the burner will eject the CD and POOF you have a new coaster, I will forward the specs on the system via email. but here's a small description.

Dean,
Please do the following to update your ASPI drivers. This sounds like what the problem could be. Regardless to Adaptec telling you on there web site not to use this version of Aspi for Win 2000, it is what I am running at home without a glitch.

ASPI Drivers For Windows 95/98/ME/2000

We found this on the Internet. Have your friend try this for you with our Microstudio demo version.

For application software like CD Creator, Microstudio, CDRWIN, etc. to control a CD-Recorder (IDE or SCSI) 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. Those who to need the update most are refused it by Adaptec. Oddly, Microsoft does not get involved in this.

However, ASPI32.EXE only checks the presence of the SCSI port drivers for Adaptec hardware. Therefore, if you install the “drivers” for Adaptec’s host adapter, their software will do the upgrade.

Windows 95/98 allows installing a device driver whether or not you have the target hardware on your computer. Follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button - Control_Panel - Add_New_Hardware

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. In the “Hardware Types:” list, scroll down and select "SCSI Controller" and click the Next button.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Next, run ASPI32.EXE that should install the necessary SCSI-related ASPI drivers on your computer.
