Microstudio fails after installing SCSI scanner or SCSI card ASPI driver.

[ciberdiver]

I lost the use of Microstudio and had to reformat my computer toget it to see my CD writer again. I then started to load things back in one by one and checking to make sure it worked after each install, until I loaded my hp scanjet scanner that works off a scsi card. I have yet to uninstall the scanner to see if this will work but I am going to try to soon. Any info on this matter would greatly be appreciated.

Thanx in advance.

Can you tell us what your hardware setup is? Are all your drives SCSI or IDE also?

What version of MicroStudio are you running?

You Emailed us: "Both of my CDRoms are IDE. My scanner has a SIIG SCSI Pro PCI card. It stopped finding the burner after I loaded the scanner software and or SCSI card. Thank you for your time."

When you re-installed your SCSI software, it is very likely that your ASPI driver was changed to an inferior version that does not recognize IDE drives.

If you had an Adaptec SCSI card, you could go to this page: http://www.adaptec.com/support/faqs/aspilayer.html which tells how to find what you have.

You have a SIIG card. Go to that manufacturer's website and find their new ASPI driver. If you have to ask them any questions, ask if their driver recognizes IDE drives. If not, get an Adaptec SCSI controller card with good ASPI drivers.

Yes, you have found the problem. Thank you very much this is a joyous day. I should have guessed it myself but was to busy doing other things and working. If anything new arises I will let you know.

Thanx again.
