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.

Obviously,
