Hi!
I'd like to use ImgBurn, Nero CD Speed and possibly some other cd applications on my company notebook. However unfortunately i don't have admin rights, so i can't use SPTI and i can't install ASPI drivers.

I've downloaded wnaspi32.dll from the Nero website and tried to put it into the same directory with ImgBurn/CDSpeed, but the programs still keep saying there's no drive detected. Is there a way to outcome this situation ?

Thanks in advance

Would it be possible for you to get someone with admin rights to change some permissions on your company notebook?

AFAIK the Nero BurnRights tool will allow you to enable burning for non-admin users, for Nero and other burning tools. I must admit I have only tried it with Nero, however.

There's also a way to change such permissions using group policies, but I don't have the information handy.

But i still cant install BurnRights without admin access. The problem is, that i work in a very large company, so if i want anything from the IT guys, i need to fill a form. They look at my job description and decide that i dont need SPTi to get my work done. They even refused to give me internet access

So there's no way to enable ASPI support without istalling anything into the system ? I even tried a thing called FrogAspi, but still no luck

None of the ASPI DLLs will work except the Adaptec one (and that's not recommended for Windows XP etc) because they're just wrappers for SPTI.

If all else fails you could alway just reset the local machine's Admin password via any number of tools created for such a purpose.

It takes about 2 mins to do.

There might be a way to save the existing admin password hash somewhere and then put it back again when you're done, I don't know - otherwise any login attempts using the local admin account with the real password will fail.

Once you have access via the local admin account, login, install burnrights or whatever and be on your merry way
