    recently, vista has been displaying a please wait message for around 30 seconds, when about 2 weeks ago it only took around 5 secs. i checked the event monitor and it seems im getting this one error that i cannot fix:

    The Aspi32 service failed to start due to the following error:
    This driver has been blocked from loading

    any ideas on how to fix it?

    thanks

    I had an ASPI error too... BSOD...
    Its actually an odd one - from what I could find Vista does not have anything to do with ASPIs per se...
    Its just some software that brings it "on board" - Nero for me I think.

    I think the error stopped occuring regularly ever since I updated mine - from the Windows 95 version to an XP version... I had to instal in compatebility mode though... and I'm not sure if its the best fix...

    Can you get an exact error message and an error code?

    when i type in net start "aspi32" in the cmd prompt, i get error 1275, driver blocked from starting

    hmm... can figure out which ASPI version you have on your computer?
    (I originally had a version from 95 ??)

    (Get an ASPI-checker)

    aspi 32 version 4.60 (1021)
    date 9/10/99
    ASPI is properly installed but one of the helper drivers has failed to initialize (0xE3)

    i believe that the ASPI is installed with the software that many CD/DVD Drives have installed with them, not the Vista drivers. you could try reinstalling or updating the DVD/CD Drive drivers or remove any CD/DVD Software.

    Or at your own risk... instal in compatebility mode XP ASPI drivers... I think there is a 4.62 version available...

    I have no idea - I am sorry.

    I wonder - you wouldn't know how to troubleshoot where the ASPI error originates from, i.e. what exactly causes it?

    Try looking at the windows error logs.

    For example in my case the ASPI error always occurred in conjunction with Realplyer and Flash videos...
