Thanks for your help....ran KillAspi...tried reboot and had same problem with registry checker. Just reinstalled Windows and now I'm back and running. Still no windows update.....but oh well

OK...I'm going to take this kinda slow...not really a puter expert 1 checked task mgr and only thing running is explorer...nothing else (safe mode) tried link to pc forrest and errored out (the puter I have hooked up to the net is ooolllddd win 95. 2 No ext2.vxd 3 Absolutely nothing remotely resembling sesp1.6...what about J2SE runtime environment 5.0 update 1? should i try reinstalling the service pack?? although I don't have use of my cd...or jumpdrive in safe mode apparently 4 add/remove shows no adaptec udf reader 5 did not roll back registry 6 7 8 Aspichk showed components apix.vxd v 4.71.2 wnaspi32.dll v 4.71.2 I checked \windows\system and winaspi.dll is 9/10/99, but app aspi_v471 this dll is dated 4/19/01 and app aspi_471a2 is dated 7/17/02...appears \system wasn't updated 9 I do use Nero to burn cd's and I believe it controls my separate internal cd/dvd player did a find on adaptec and found the following adaptec (folder) c\ 1/28/05 adaptec.inf c:\windows\inf 5/9/01 adaptec (folder) c\program files 3/14/04 adaptec shared c\program files\common files 7/11/04 thought I would give you this info before I proceeded...may point out the problem...is there a way to recognize my jumpdrive or are any files I need to download small enough to fit on a disc? thanks for your help

I installed aspi_471.exe and ran.....then ran aspi_471a2. rebooted and received all the same errors. Looked in the c:\adaptec\aspi folder created by the install and found a number of files...aspi46.vx_....aspi2k.sy_...aspi32sy_.....as though another .exe needed to be run????? Installed both rebootted and had same results What now?

I've done nothing else to fix this....learned long ago to rely on knowledge than luck! I am not running PC Health or Real time...that I know of. I'm running McAfee Viruscan 9.0 only. I do have Spybot....AdAware.... Spywareblaster...and Sygate firewall. I've never seen this registry checker run before...is it part of the service pack? A few questions (bear in mind I can only operate in Safe mode) 1 Do I install Mays 2002 aspi then November 2002 in safe mode, then reboot to see if problem is fixed? 2 if the new files do not correct the problem...in safe mode.....in Add/Remove programs...there is no Unofficial Windows SE Service pack listed.....only thing close is "system files update"...is this it....or what would it be named? 3 should i install the 2.0 beta....instead of / over the tp of 1.62?

Downloaded and installed Service Pack 1 v 1.6.2, rebooted as requested. When windows started got error "smi.exe performed an illegal function...closed. Explorer has performed an illegal function....closed and rebooted. Upon restart...blue screen...MS registry checker ran.....backed up files and restored files...info box popped up "Windows found an error in your system files and restored a recent backup of the files to fix the problem. Enter to restart" Restarted 4 times and got same message. Inserted my startup disk and booted....got to DOS....but didn't know what to do. Inserted McAfee rescue disk and booted..... "Starting Magic Bullet" BIOS read error X00 Booted in safe mode and got warning "system file warning-following files have been replaced with an older version by a program you recently ran. Some windows functionality may not run correctly.. Please run these files by running Windows setup located on your original Windows disk to verify your current install C:\windows\system\winaspl.dll" was indicated in the message box. OK or Ignore...chose ignore tried to get to internet to post last night....but apparently can't access internet in safe mode Have orginal win 98 SE CD Do you have any suggestions how to fix this? Can it be uninstalled? Only likely suspect in Add/Remove is "system files update" I appreciate any help you can give me
