i have been using dvd shrink for about two weeks now, and it has been great. the last time i tried to use it when i went to open disk it said it could not initiate the aspi device. i am pulling my hair trying to get it fixed. i have looked everywhere for info but no luck. if anybody can help me i will greatly appreciate it.

Does your Burning software work?
Try re-installing Nero as Shrink uses Nero to burn.PC XP SP2 Modifed - Gigabyte DQ6, 2.4Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gig Ram, Nvidia 8800, 2xSATA 300gig, 2xSATA 120gig, 2x120Gig IDE, 1 Asus Light ScribeSATA, 1x Pioneer Sata , DV, blah blah

Have you downloaded or installed anything recently?
What OS are you? If XP. can you do a System Restore?This isn't a learning curve ... this is b****y mountaineering!Comment

Try unistalling Nero. Then use Nero clean (available free from Nero). Nero prog apparently leaves some files / registry entries behind when it is un installed, which can in some cases affect the re-installation process of Nero. Then re-install Nero.. Has worked for some in the past...If it ain't afloat .... It's sunk .... If it ain't broke.... leave it alone.... I was once indecisive....Now I'm not sure....
I'm old enough to know better...BUT...too young to give a toss...

As "sfheath" suggested, perform a "System Restore" - back to the last time things were working properly...Comment

i have tried that, but this computer is only two months old and i haven't created a restore point and i tried to do it anyway with the checkpoints the computer made but it could not restore. i tried it on three different days. agian thanks for helping me.Comment

Do a google search of "force aspi". It will tell you where to d/l the force aspi. I think you can d/l it in the tools section here also www.videohelp.com.Comment

Does any other software open the dvd burner? Can you play a dvd with your Dvd software? Check in control panel under hardware and make sure it's listed and enabled. Try uninstalling the ide controller in control panel and reboot your computer to reinstall the native windows drivers.Comment

yes i can watch a dvd using power dvd, i don't understand why dvd shrink can't acess the drive.Comment

If, as part of your NERO installation, you have installed InCD, UNinstall that program (InCD)...Comment
