Hi all.
I've been using Win2000 for a while now and it's definitely the way to go.
However, I just dual booted it woth WinME (final release) and I have a question on that.
When I go to play a DVD using Power DVD and DVD Genie, when I press Play, I get the following error:
 
ASPI for Windows not available!
Only 32-bit CD-Rom drivers supported.
 
The Device Manager reports no problems and the drive is working fine.
What's the story with that?
I just installed the OS so I would have thought that I have all the drivers needed...
Any and all help is appreciated!

OP
First of all I better thank Arin for being an arsehole...he obviously has a lot of freetime...
Anyway, I resolved the problem by just downloading the latest ASPI drvers for Win98 from the Adaptec website.
That sorted it out.
 
Finaly I have to say that WinME is fine...no real problems - it just seems to be a slimmed down version of Win2K without all the security and other NT options, so if you don't need them then ME might be worth a look.
G'luck all.
