My new cd-rw is recognized by Windows 98 (in device manager) but when I try to load a burning program, it takes two minutes or more to load and then does not recognize my drive properly. I suspect an Aspi or registry problem, but have replaced the Aspi numerous times without success. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Please reply to:omitthis-dnordquest@hotmail.com.

Give us more info.. what OS? What software? Did you run aspichk.exe to see if ASPI is installed and/or working?

The OS is Win98 and I have tried both my CD-Maker 2000 and Nero 5.5 programs. The delay between when you click the icon and when the program comes up may be closer to five minutes!! At first I thought the program simply wasn't working. In Nero I get my recorder identified as Image Recorder. The system uses a Celeron 566 soit is not a processor problem.

I attach a log of what happens from Nero:

Thanks for any advice you may have!

It seems to me that Nero and Cdmaker don't support your writer check on
there web sites for a list of supported CD writers.
