ADAPTEC DRIVER ERROR

[Guest]

Every 2 or 3 months, my PC crashes and automatically restarts. The Microsoft Online Crash Analysis system has been telling me for 2 years now that the problem is with one of the drivers on my PC but Microsoft has been unable to identify the driver ... until now ... I think.

Last time my PC crashed, I received the following error:

"An Update Is Available
Thank you for submitting an error report. The error was likely caused by:
ASPI Adaptec Driver (ASPI32.SYS)
ASPI Adaptec Driver (ASPI32.SYS) was created by Adaptec®, Inc.. Adaptec®, Inc. has updates for ASPI Adaptec Driver (ASPI32.SYS) that may correct the problem you reported. To learn more about the updates, see the Adaptec®, Inc. Web site.
http://www.adaptec.com/
If the problem persists, please contact Adaptec®, Inc. and alert them of the problem."

I went to the Adaptec web site not really knowing what I was looking for. I searched for the driver, ASPI32.SYS and found 3 entries, where the most current was dated Nov 1999.

Should I download the Nov 1999 driver update? Can anyone tell me what this driver is used for? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help Peter.

I downloaded the ASPI driver update from the Adaptec site and unzipped it into the adaptec folder on my PC. There wasn't a wizard to guide me through the installation of the updated driver. Do I now need to install anything or are the files that were unzipped all that I need? Please let me know. Thanks again.
