dvd burning problems

[Guest]

Hello. i am having problems burning dvds. OS is winxp-pro, dvd drives are
sony dvd player and maddog 16x dual layer burner. Software tried are 123-copy
, dvd decryter, dvd shrink, dvdfab and others. Error messages are invalid
pointer and i/o errors, (ex: in 123-copy, invalid pointer. In dvd shrink, i/o
error).

I have noticed that the aspi layer is in win\sys and win\sys32, but not
loaded.
All hardware and software are updated. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks and have a safe and happy new year

Can you be more specific with the errors?
They will be in your event log:
Start -> Run -> eventvwr

As for your concern about ASPI...

Download and install that.

Go to MadDog and find out if they offer a firmware update for your
particular model of drive. Apply that.

Particularly here:

If they do not, it could be a defective drive or cable. Swap out the cable
first.
I've never been a big fan of maddog - I prefer Plextor... But...
