re: Question about 'Top reasons for random, fatal crashes in Windows XP and Windows 2000' Tuesday, August 3, 2004 at 8:11 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Tom (2 messages posted) One followup note: If you have Nero CD DVD Programs installed, they have a toolkit program that they call "Nero InfoTool". If you run that program they have a tab called ASPI. When I looked at that tab, I found out that I didn't have the "system ASPI" installed, but I did have the "Nero ASPI" installed and it was working properly. I then went to "http://www.adaptec.com", did a search for ASPI and found their lastest ASPI download for my system. I downloaded it and installed it. After a reboot, I checked my event log and it was still clean. I then when back into the Nero InfoTool and checked the ASPI tab. I now found that both the system ASPI and Nero ASPI were both working correctly. I'm not sure if this corrects any problems, but it probably a better state especially if your using cd and/or dvd burning programs.
