Any ideas?

490100 2006-10-09 20:55:00 Thanks for the help guys.

I ran the ...check.exe file and it says that ASPI is fully functional on the system. It still isn't working though

I note, however, that all the files are in the adaptec folder so I guess that I will have to copy over the relevant files to the system folder?

Can I confirm how I do that? CTRL+C on the file or CTRL and drop and drag the file into the new folder?

Many thanks

490101 2006-10-09 21:19:00 Best bet would be to visit the vendor of that CD first and see what they suggest.

There should be in that afterdawn site a tool that checks your ASPI that you seem to have found but also one that will download a newer one or install others, it should also be able to let you select which layer you want. Can't remember the tool but it should be in that site.

Cheers,

I don't think that the CD is the problem.

I read the info that was posted by the others, downloaded the updated drivers from adaptec, but the problem wasn't fixed.

I am guessing that the files need to be copied to the system folder, but I just want confirmation that a. my thinking is correct, and b. my way of doing the copying is correct.

Many thanks from El Thicko.

490104 2006-10-12 13:29:00 sometimes the installer dosn't always install things correctly . it may say it s fine but it still dosn't work . often notice more with cd ripping programs . there is a prog by the name of forceaspi which installs it correctly .

its a tad strange a game would need aspi . aspi is for cd disk access . are you sure of the error message?

can you play cd's in it useing digital rather than analog? can you rip cd's?

also check DMA is enabled for cd drive .

490105 2006-10-12 20:45:00 Hi Tweak'e

It is a CDROM only and this is the only cd that we have problems with.

I have printed out the page shown in your post, and I was thinking that I would try copying the applicable files, using the procedure above to the SYSTEM folder and see how that goes.

Is my thinking logical????

Many thanks

490106 2006-10-12 21:11:00 you can copy files but generally speaking thats not where the problem lies. the comman bug is registry entries for the files. tweak'e (69)
