CD Burning problem whit WinXP (ASPI LAYER)

WinXP does not come with an aspi layer. So far almost 90% of the problems with winXP and CD burning software are

aspi layer problems. After installing winXP, before installing any CD burning software do a few things first:

1. Open up "My computer" and right click on the CD Recorder. If your CD recorder was detected as a CD recorder there

will be a tab called "Recording". On this tab uncheck ALL of the boxes. apply or OK out of it and close my computer.

2. Next install the standard aspi layer for NT. Reboot when asked.
