Can't play DVD'S - Error code 80900004

Hi all, I cannot play dvd's (have PowerDVD and WinDVD) with windows Me on a PIII.

I get "error code 8090004 ASPI for windows not available!"

"Only 32-bit CD-ROM driver supported. Please make sure 32-bit CD-ROM driver installed."

I googled the error # then downloaded the Windows ASPI pack from adaptec.com. Installed it, rebooted and I still get the same error. Untechie here, is it not properly installed or am I way off base? Any help will be much appreciated.

I need my monthly dose of THE BIG LEBOWSKI!

Thanks!

Try using ForceASPI. I've usually had good results from it.

Thanks Kuku, I will try the Force later tonight.... hope there's joy.

 

Oh there is plenty of JOY here! FORCEaspi worked like a charm. Why is it that it's always the little guy putting out something that works?

Thanks a bunch for the reco Kuku. Now off to watch The Dude's shennanigans for the 20th (ish) time.

Ciao
