You may receive the error "WNASPI32.DLL failed to load" when opening Easy CD Creator™ if your computer has an outdated ASPI (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) layer. Adaptec® CD-R software for Windows® installs the most recent version of ASPI as part of its overall installation process. ASPI can sometimes be overwritten or corrupted by the installation of other software or peripheral devices that use ASPI. To help correct this error, please use the following steps to update your ASPI layer.

STEP ONE - Ensure that only one copy of ASPI is on your computer system

Ensure that only one copy of ASPI is on your computer system and that it is located under the correct Windows directory. Please use the following steps to do this.

1. Click Start, Find, then Files or Folders.
   
   
2. Click the down-arrow next to the Look in drop-down box and click the My Computer icon.
   
   
3. Next to Named, type Wnaspi32.dll
   
   
4. Only one copy of the WNASPI32.DLL file should be located on your computer under the WINDOWS\SYSTEM or WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory.
   
   Note: If you have multiple operating systems, you will also have multiple WNASPI32.DLL files. Ensure that all of the WNASPI32.DLL files are located in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM or WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory on your computer.
   
   
5. Delete any WNASPI32.DLL files that are not in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM or WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory.
