WinUAE and Easy CD Creator DeLuxe problem

[Paul_Gadd]

The ASPI drivers Easy CD Creator 5 installs is the problem which makes UAE not detect the drive/s properly,

Remove the ASPI drivers then get the latest ones, install them and the problems should go away,

Had that and the same problem with Accoustica mp3 burner,

Just to add it is a well known problem with Roxio products to make other cd burning programs or programs what use the cd drive to not work properly untill you reinstall the ASPI drivers.

Only Roxio makes your nightmares come true  :-D

Make sure you deleted every trace of ASPI drivers on the machine then reboot, then first of all install the ones that came with the Windows your using (which i still use the ones that come with 98SE),

Try that before installing Adaptecs new ones,

I used to run Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum and it was a good program but the problems it installs then leaves behind after uninstalling is a complete nightmare and a joke, i now use Nero instead.

State what windows your using would help,

Not deleting dll files but the system files which are left behind when you might think you have uninstalled/removed the aspi drivers.

[Paul_Gadd]

WIN98\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS\APIX.VXD  
WIN98\SYSTEM\WINASPI.DLL  
WIN98\SYSTEM\WNASPI32.DLL  
and ONE of the following two files
WIN98\SYSTEM\ASPIENUM.VXD (this is the file that comes from Adaptec)
WIN98\ASPI2HLP.SYS (this is the file that comes with Win95)

Use find and remove all them,

 click HERE to download the win98 files.

Extract winaspi.dll, wnaspi32.dll, and aspienum.vxd into your system directory.
Extract sparrow.mpd and apix.vxd into your iosubsys directory in your system directory.
These are the original Windows95/98/ME distribution files - this is to get you back to installed Windows status
Extract and run aspi32.exe, this will update the files to 4.06 (1021) status
Extract and run aspichk.exe, this will help you see if all the files are matched and are the correct versions.
If it still doesn't work, extract the wnaspi32_nero.dll file into your Translator folder, and rename it wnaspi32.dll,

I had to do that twice after installing Roxio`s wonderfull product.

After being a fan of Adaptec Easy CD creator which never messed up on me once,  i decided to install the Roxio Easy CD creator 5 and OMG that turned out to be the worst mistake EVER, any software what corrupts ASPI drivers is clearly not worth supporting.

@Coder

If you follow the instuctions above you can have proper working ASPI drivers, if you are ever going to remove Roxio`s joke then all i say is Good Luck as the worst is not over.

[Paul_Gadd]

Make sure you keep the aspi.zip file if your going to remove or install other Roxio products, it will save you time and less hassle,
