Power CD+G Burner Troubleshooting

ASPI is not available in my computer. Why?

My CD-R drive is not detected or it refuses to work with this program.

Everything seemed to work fine, but I cannot play my CD+G disc.

MP3 encoding is not available


ASPI is not available in my computer. Why?

Windows 95, 98 and ME come with a working ASPI manager but Windows NT, 2000 and XP do not have any ASPI manager at all. In rare situations, some other program may have replaced your ASPI manager even if you are using Win 95/98/ME.
Adaptec has many ASPI drivers available and they are free for anybody to download and install (you don't need to own an Adaptec SCSI card or software product). These drivers will also add support for ATAPI CDROM devices.

My CD-R drive is not detected or it refuses to work with this program.

It is possible that your drive is not MMC-compatible (you will not see it on the list of devices then) or it does not support DAO/96 mode (burn process will fail). You may try changing Use MMC-RAW driver setting in Settings dialog box. If it still does not work, then sorry, but there is nothing that can be done.

Everything seemed to work fine, but I cannot play my CD+G disc.

Make sure to select low burning speed (some CD+G players are very picky on this -- the lowest speed the better). Most CD+G players will not play CD-RW discs. Also some are very picky about the quality of the discs and refuse to play cheaper CDs.
One more thing to try it to enable Don't interleave subchannel data checkbox in Setting dialog box (this may help with some Plextor burners).

MPe encoding is not available.

To use MP3 encoding you need to download LAME MP3 encoder. You may do this during the installation or you may using this link:

Download LAME MP3 encoder

Downloaded lame_enc.dll needs to be saved in Power CD+G Burner folder (usually C:/Program Files/Doblon/Power CD+G Burner).
