Do you have the CD it came on ?- You could re-install.
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Looks like it'll be something to do with the ASPI layer which (i think) allows Windoze to talk to things like CDROMs. There's a copy on this PC
(Windows 98) in c:\windows\system and c:\Prog files\Ahead\Nero\Migrate
Drop me an email and I'll send a copy over.

wnaspi file
The one in Nero is different to the one on win 98 on my computer. It will open in notepad on windows but the Nero one is too large for notepad so it
will open in wordpad instead. Which one do you need. It should paste in wherever it was before.
yours, Pete.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Check again
Yep the windows one is 36k and the Nero one is 169k. Definitely different. the Nero one is in program files as an application extension.

Iv'e tryed to load that file in the nero file and it won't start up now. Not the correct Dll file or somthing. Removed it now though.
Original Windows DLL Required?

Being lucky enough (ahem) to spend all my working days sorting out problems like this, I would say the order of attack would go something like this
:
1) reboot PC (I'm guessing you've done this, but you'd be amazed how many problems are solved this way, makes the users look like prats too  )
2) uninstall nero, reboot, and then reinstall it
3) get a copy of the aspi runtime files, not as easy to get as they used to be due to adaptec (who I believe own them) aren't so keen to hand them
out, but they are still out there, and last time I checked they were on adaptec's site, but quite deeply hidden. If you really really can't find
them, then give me a shout.
4) Failing that and having checked as many forums/faq/whatever as you can find, reinstall windows (upgrade over current version with current version
if you catch my drift)
5) If all else fails, upgrade to win2k or XP pro (home might be acceptable, depends what you're doing, I know it would drive me insane). Not wishing
to slag off your operating system too severely, but it is pretty weak, it was only really sold through OEM, and even that wasn't for very long, I
seem to recall that some OEMs stuck with 98SE in preference depite buyer's natural desires to get the newest everything.
If you're afraid about compatability/performance issues (XP is pretty heavy on the systems requirements) then I'd go for 98SE, it's got most things
the average user needs, it's very compatible, comparatively good on resources and it's the most stable of the 9x series.
Let's hope you don't need to go to these extremes, although if you're planning on reinstalling at some point, it's worth considering.
Good Luck

PS XP has the CD buring s/w built in to the os, so forget Nero.

You need to download and install ASPI

Sorted!
Went to system restore, then went back to a later saved date and copied the file from there. came back to the original date and copy and pated it from
a floppy!
