    hi,
    when i burn cds with nero 6.3.1.6 since about a week
    the process completes successfully but the cd is not detected by my cd drive
    i have a combi dvd/RW reader-writer which has always worked well.
    i tried burning audio cds and they work on portabe cd player, burnt data cd (mp3)and it works on portable mp3 cd player.
    its only in my own machine tht they arent recognised!

    what can i do ?
    maybe i installed a program tht messes my aspi but my restore system is disabled since 2 weeks.

    if i reactivate it, will i be able to recover?
    any other idea?

    my o.p. is win ME ( yes i know :< ! )

    please help if it happened to you before or know about it!

    hi there

    i had the same problem when i made a copy of command conquer generals. i didn'T find a solution but using a different brand of cd-r/rw. ive read about cases where certain burner can't read cd's they had burned. maybe we both just have bad luck. i don't think it is caused by aspi drivers (but not sure!)

    1. ASPI Version? Make and model of drive?
    2. Try this: when you finish burning a cd and the ok box pops up, click it, then click 'discard' and before closing Nero, close the CD drive, then close nero.... eject the cd and then reinsert it.... it seemed to work for me a couple times.... very wierd ... as if there was some form of post-finalization crap going on..

    ok praetor i tried your stuff but it does not make any difference :<

    however, i got all info you asked for !

    1. ASPI Version? Make and model of drive?
    Info from nero 6.3.1.6
    secondary IDE channel - combi RW16x10/DVD (fujitsu & siemens) DMA=on and Autorun=on

    (primary channel is generic ide disk type 40
    and
    st3shark scsi controller is generic dvd rom with autorun on)

    ASpi version:
    for system aspi : wnaspi32.dll 4.71(001) 28/05/03
    apix.vxd same same

    for nero aspi: wnaspi32.dll 2.0.1.59 16/12/03

    both are "installed and working properly"

    There should be 4 files m8 not 2. If you see 2 blanks when you run ASPICHK then your ASPI aint installed completely -- so far it's correct (provided the versions are the same) but its not complete.

    I have a link (as well as complete instructions) on my little site: http://www.hazza.dsl.pipex.com/download.htm

    Hi
    I ll give a shot to version 4.60
    but i READ :

    "
    WARNING: While I have not experienced any problems with ASPI 4.60 some programs may require a particular version. You are reminded that it is your own responsibility to maintain any dependencies of other, third party programs. "

    and like i wrote before nero seems to have its own aspi files installed and working well so how come cds dnt burn?

    also i just dnt get why frm one day to another cds stop being detected when i burn them :< (burn over 200 cds before and these are still detected!)

    this is out of curiosity

    anyway gotta do some revisions now!

    thnx for your help again guys!

    ok this is it:

    i took your aspi pack praetor

    ran the install.bat frm the cmd prompt
    however, all i had to do is to press any key in the ms-dos prog (in instructions u said: further things to do depending on version)
    anyway prog finished , i reboot

    run the tests and results dnt really match

    both nero and your aspi checker frm folder "part 2"
    say:

    wnaspi32.dll 4.60(1021)
    winaspi.dll same
    apix.vxd same
    aspienum.vxd same

    (however the aspi checker also mentions win 95- and i have win ME... and nero aspi version hasnt changed)

    however, aspi checker in part 1 says:

    apix.vxd 4.6 (1021)
    wnaspi32.dll same

    but there are only 2 files! What to do?

    I tried burn a cd and the cd was still not detected.

    thanx

    did you already contact the nero developers? maybe the problem is already known and solved. good luck

    When you run the installer for "part1", it should present you with a menu that tells you to re-type "install" but with some switch at the end .... that is, if you are using XP32bit, then type "install xp32" etc.

    Then when you run the installer for part2, all 4 files are overwritten.... but since you state that all 4 files are the same version then .... hmmm ... *thinks*

    just wanted to thank you although since i dont know eactly what sotred my prob out
    i gave it a week break and now its working!

    i installed the aspi with force aspi and yesterday i tried your special manipulations again with cd (insert back into cd player for post finalization and so on...)

    and it worked !

    burnt other cds and no need for any special manipulations or anything !

    this is crazy

    good thing i took a break :
    i had an exam today and if i had carried on trying i would have failed it!

    time heals everyhting :)
