Hm. Spent all day yesterday trying to get my burner to work properly again under Win2k Advanced Server. Something I installed must have screwed up something Nero Burning Rom used. The error was something like “The instrcution at <hex dump> referenced memory at <hex dump>. The memory could not be written”. I worked out the problem was the wnaspi32.dll file. Works fine on the other copy of win2k adv server, but this one screwed up.
Then I installed the latest version of Nero and it couldn’t see my burner for some reason and complained about needing “burn rights” or something even though I was logged in as Administrator. Bah.
Anyway for people having a similar porblem this is what I did:
I installed Nero under win2k. Then I installed the exact same version under Win98 first edidion that I had installed. Under win2k I installed an ASPI layer that allowed me to install the latest Adeptec drivers because I havn’t got an Adeptec host card. Delete the “Nero” folder in the win2k installation, and copy the one from the win98 installation into it’s place.
Poifect 
Got my new 40G on Thursday. And I only have 15G free now. How does that happen…
Most of the MP3′s ill be downloading from now on will be >128kbps. I’ve begun to notice discrepencies in some of the dance MP3′s…
Resuming can suck. If you’ve ever been downloading a 600M file, got to 500M and then gone back to resume only to be told that it can’t resume because the files don’t match, you’ll know what I mean. Well, if the had a crash while you were downloading that file or if you closed the program improperly (ctrl-alt-dlt 
then it might have corrupted the tail end of the file. All you need to do is chop off the last say, 10k of data and it resumes fine again. Unfortunatly for large files, you cant open them in anything to do this. So the easiest way is to copy everything but the last 10k…kind of like chopping down a try with a pocket knife. But it works
Most downloaders are ok with this though…they roll back 5k or so, which gets past the corrupt data at the expense of an extra second of downloading. WinMX doesn’t. It corrupts downloads. I guess programmers forget about the small important things in the early stages. Open source programs fix that
Oh well.
