| Windows itself can't read those "special" CDs directly, i.e. if you
can't read them in Windows Explorer that's just normal. If you used
the "Akai" or "E-MU" button of VSamplers Import rack and it can't access
your Akai- or E-MU-CD's please check the VSampler menu at Options -->
Import --> Akai. There are two access methods to choose from:
- SPTI: included with Windows 2000 and XP, but requires
Administrator rights to use (which is the default user type when you
install Windows)
- ASPI: included with Windows 98, but also works on all
other Windows versions, just requires an additional file, read below
If both methods fail (VSampler tries both automatically) that means
there is no appropriate ASPI driver installed on your system yet. Easy
solution: Ahead Software (producers of the popular "Nero Burning Rom")
offers a good ASPI driver for Windows NT/2000/XP for free download:
WNASPI32.DLL. Copy this DLL file into VSamplers "bin" directory and
it should work. |
