I have a Compaq Presario with a facotry installed CDD4801. It won't do anything except lock my system up. I have tried audio Cd's, Data. Nothing. Someone told me to update the firmware I have Ver 2.0. I downloaded 2.5, but it asked me what to open with and I got nowhere. I tried unzipping, but it didn't do anything. A friend read the ASPI fix for PCRW807, but I looked at that patch it said Widnows 95 only. I am running XP. Any ideas other than yanking the thing and replacing it. Seems as though there are lots of problems with this one from what I have read. When it comes to some of this I am an absolute novice.

Then my CRRW locked up everything again. I uninstalled Realplayer thinking it might solve the problem. It didn't. If I try to use the CD or open media player it slows everything down. Question, before I really mess up everything. should I try updating the firmware again? I know just enough on this to be dangerous and feel really stupid! Help1[:(]

While it is possible that real player changed the aspi layer, I really doubt this. Sounds like you have just too many applications installed. What are the names of "all" burning application software that you have installed?

drusl -> RE: Philips CDD4801 (11/17/2003 4:18:01 AM)
As far as I can tell. Windows Media Player, Roxio CD creator (v5.3.5.1). I am not sure when the Real Player installed. I know that sound obutse, but really not sure. Right now that little yellow light is burning on this blasted thing and has been all evening.

MP3Mogul -> RE: Philips CDD4801 (11/21/2003 4:07:39 AM)
Drusl, Are you perhaps using AOL? It is automatically installed with newer versions of AOL, and it is a very "persistant" software.

drusl -> RE: Philips CDD4801 (11/21/2003 5:38:41 AM)
In the disguise of Compuserve. I will make sure to ignore real player in the future, once I get it working.

What suggestion do you have to get my CD/RW working again? Should I reinstall the firmware update? I didn't have to apply the ASPI fix before. I am stumped and don't want to mess up anything, but have got to get this working soon. Thanks

MP3Mogul -> RE: Philips CDD4801 (11/23/2003 7:02:05 PM)
I would say remove real player, and then "check" your ASPI layer for version.

drusl -> RE: Philips CDD4801 (11/24/2003 4:21:11 AM)
I have removed Real Player. When I do a search I find only Real Player log. I ran a search on ASPI and found several files. How do I tell which version I have? Sorry for the ignorance, but this is new to me and I don't want to mess things up worse than they are.

drusl -> RE: Philips CDD4801 (11/24/2003 5:15:02 AM)
I found the following 2 files ASPI32 C:\aspi\aspifix\aspi ver 1.02.4 Aspichk C:\api\aspifix\aspi ver 1.0.0.6 Also I just realized I should have been posting these probably to the other topic. I appreciate your patience, it is greater than mine with this thing called a computer.[:(]
