Recently had Easy Cd Creator version 4.02C suddenly stop working. The CD burner itself is fine. We have uninstalled the program and cleaned the registry manually. We have uninstalled Nortin before re-installing the software (heard there may be a conflict). Nothing has worked. We have done every scan known to man and can not come up with the problem.
Could it be an ASPI problem? ASPI, Advanced SCSI Programming Interface, is the source of enough problems with anything even remotely related to an optical drive. Note that Windows2000 and WindowsXP do NOT come with ASPI installed and many users, just starting to do more than basic activities with their drives are encountering problems left and right. ASPI is one of the simplest things to check for -- it just takes one reboot. For more information regarding ASPI see http://cd-rw.org/articles/archive/aspisetup.cfm . IMPORTANT: when checking the version numbers, all four the version numbers have to match identically otherwise the ASPI is not installed correctly/completely regardless of whatever the checker says (this is especially true for Nero's InfoTools which only checks for the presence of the files rather than matching version numbers). If the above link didn't help, pay a visit to http://www.hazza.dsl.pipex.com/faq.htm#ASPI for a step-by-step guide on getting it to work.
