act2 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 A few years ago on my laptop, I accidently deleted something and after that, dvd's would no longer work on my laptop. I am now trying to fix the problem. I finally messed around with it enough to find out that the wnaspi32.dll is missing, I think is what it said. So, I search the internet and there are all kinds of places to get it for 'free' but I am concerned about getting more than what I bargained for!!! Any help would be appreciated. It will be tomorrow before I can try any suggestions as my laptop is at our shop and I am heading to my mom's for some good old comfort food, meatloaf and potatoes, and who knows what else. DESSERT, I am sure!!!!!!] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInvisibleDan Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) I had the same problem a couple months back on my old dinosaur - I couldn't burn cds, getting the same missing wnaspi32.dll message. The problem was fixed by going to "Bart's ASPI page" and downloading from Adaptec's site the latest ASPI drivers and installing them. That did the trick, and I'm a caveman when it comes to computers.

act2 Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Dan, I went to the website to download but it had a caution to not download if you have Windows XP which I do. Any other suggestions? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInvisibleDan Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Try Adaptec - one of these downloads should be compatible. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sudo Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Act II, I think you get that file from loading your DVD or CD burning software. I use Nero myself and it loads when I install it. Try reloading whatever software you had been using. It sure couldn't hurt. sudo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
act2 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hey Sudo, I have an HP laptop that is probably at least 6 years old... I bought it right after Windows XP came out whenever that was. I will check at the shop TUESDAY since Monday is a holiday and see if HP was kind enough to include a CD!! Thanks for your input.
