Re: ASPI32 Hangs Up Start Up

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'd say install the ASPI32 from Adaptec to "solve" the issue. I have it
installed but for a reason. It should be installed if you have a burner of
any type whether it uses it or not. But Event Viewer giving this error?
Almost sounds like the bugger wanted it and still does???

Now NvCplScan almost sounds legitimate. Your Norton Antivirus in the
Control Panel. See if there is anything in Services that shouldn't be
there. Anything that looks "weird" ask us we should be able to determine if
it is OK or not.
