There seems to be a conflict between ASPI and SPTI in the latest beta. Oddly enough both drivers work on my Win2k system. I say 'oddly' because I seem to be the only one here not having this kind of CD problem... Anyway, see my previous posts on the matter, it might help.

David is most certainly having a look at the issue.
