Problems while trying to rip audio

My comp (Athlon 850 MHz, ECS K75SA, 512 MB DDR SDRAM, Toshiba SD-M1502, Win98) used to rip audio without problems, but after 2 or 3 weeks since last ripping I tried to rip a CD today and it didn?t work.

I tried with AudioCatalyst 2.0 and Nero and the ripping process went fine till the end of audio track when it would just stop (Nero) or report ASPI no responding (Catalyst). I tried couple of CD-s, repaired system files via TweakUI, turned antivirus off, checked device manager and nothing helped. Everything else works fine (data CDs, DVD movies, playing audio CDs). Does anyone have a suggestion what might be wrong?

This computer is used by couple of persons so it might be something they installed?

Sorry if my English is bad and thanx for any help in advance.

P.S. I managed to rip a track using Catalyst, ASPI metod but with ripping set at 1.0x speed and the cpu was 100% used.
 
Only thing I could thnk of is a change with the IDE driver. Either a new SiS driver that is not compatible or a change form DMA to PIO mode in control panel.

You could also try Exact Audio Copy, great ripping tool - and it's free 🙂.

Edit: CDex is fine too 😉.
 
I'll try with cd ripper that you suggested. Nero is 5.5.3.5 version. I'm almost certain that no new IDE drivers were installed as other people that use this computer don't know much about them.

Strange thing is that ripping process goes extremely well all the way to the end and than programs stop or hang. After faliure in ripping i have to open and close CD-ROM to make it read again (else it says that no CD is in the driver).

Same thing with Cdex. It ripps the track all the way to 100 % and than it hangs. I'll try update my ASPI drivers, but don't know for sure how. I downloaded ASPI32.exe from Adaptec and it wont install as i don't have any adaptec hardware.

I'll try that too.

This ripping problem gets stranger and stranger. Now it will rip every track expcept the first one where it says the aspi no responding stuff.
