Fix ASPI
</h3>
<p>
If you got problems with ASPI after installing the driver from Adaptec on Windows
XP try this fix I found somewere on the net. Download the fixASPI package <a href=
"dateien/fixASPI.zip">here</a> and the Adaptec driver <a href=
"http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/downloads/ms/ms_win_xp?productId=ASPI-4.70&dn=Windows+ASPI+Package"
target="_blank">here</a>.
</p>
<ol>
<li>Check you previous installation
<br>
* run ASPICHK (included in the aspi_v471.exe )
<br>
* if WOWPOST.EXE or WINASPI.DLL show up and you are running winXP then search for
those files in your windows directory (inc subdirs and hidden files) and DELETE
them they are not needed for aspi on XP.
</li>
<li>install ASPI 4.71 ( or later ) from adaptec
http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/drivers_by_product.html?sess=no&cat=%2fProduct%2fASPI-4.70&prodkey=ASPI-4.70
<br>
Use the INSTALL.BAT to install after unzipping to make sure the correct files
only are installed.
</li>
<li>Windows NT/2K/XP MUST have these reg keys added if they aren't allready,
otherwise some apps (EAC, audiocatalyst, CDRWIN) won't show any aspi devices at
all:
<br>
<br>
<pre>
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ASPI32\Parameters]
"ExcludeMiniports"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ASPI32]
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"Start"=dword:00000002
"Type"=dword:00000001
</pre>double click the included .reg file to add these if you are not experienced editing
the registry, as the adaptec installer currently doesn't set all of these up, this is
the source of everyones problems.
</li>
<li>reboot.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
This has worked on EVERY XP/2K box I've tried but, if it still doesn't
work, try changing "Start"=dword:00000002 to
"Start"=dword:00000001 in the .reg file then run it again, and then
reboot.

IOMega Zip 100 parallel Windows 2000 driver
</h3>
<p>
I was looking for the newest drivers for W2k for my old Zip parallel drive and,
hanging on the modem, didn't want to download the whole IOMega Tools package.
After some searching I finally found the right file from IOMega. It's called
the "Parallel Port Slow Transfer Patch", quite a stupid name for a driver
file I think, and can be found at
<br>
<a href="http://www.iomega.com/software/win2kdriver_thanks.html" target=
"_blank">http://www.iomega.com/software/win2kdriver_thanks.html</a> .
<br>
The direct link to the file is <a href=
"ftp://download.iomega.com/english/iodrv-w2kxp-x86-403.exe">ftp://download.iomega.com/english/iodrv-w2kxp-x86-403.exe</a>
.
<br>
While searching on Googles I found another nice <a href=
"http://www.storagedrivers.com/companies/513.htm" target="_blank">page with a
collection of IOMega drivers</a>. It's at <a href=
"http://www.storagedrivers.com/" target="_blank">www.storagedrives.com</a>.

Winhelp problem
</h3>
<p>
After installing some automatic updates on Win2k today (06.02.2003) on my machine I
wasn't able anymore to open the WinFAQ-Helpfile from <a href=
"http://www.winfaq.de" target="_blank">www.winfaq.de</a>. I found the solution to
this problem <a href=
"http://support.ca.com/techbases/eTrustadmin-DMO/ReadmeeTrust.html" target=
"_blank">here</a>. Here follows the important part (slightly edited).
<br>
</p>
<div align="center">
<b>Online Help Cannot Be Opened.</b>
</div>
<br>
Some systems may issue the following error message after a user clicks a help
icon/shortcut or *.hlp file:
<div align="center">
<font color="#FF0000">"This file is not a Windows Help file."</font>
<br>
Followed by:
<br>
<font color="#FF0000">"A newer version of Help is needed to read this Help
file."</font>
<br>
</div>These errors are due to incorrect Associations in Windows NT. You must
associate .HLP files with WINHLP32.EXE. By default, some systems associate the .HLP
files with WINHELP.EXE, which does not support the 32-bit help files provided.
<br>
<ul>
<li>If you get this error message, you can take the following steps to correct it:
<br>
</li>
<li>Start the File Manager (explorer.exe).
<br>
</li>
<li>Select Extras/Folder Options/File types.
<br>
</li>
<li>Type H in to got to the extensions starting with H.
<br>
</li>
<li>Select HLP. Click on "Advanced". Select "open".
<br>
</li>
<li>Click on "Edit" and change under "Application used to perform
action:" "winhelp.exe" to "Winhlp32.Exe".
<br>
</li>
<li>Click OK/OK/Close and you are done.
</li>
</ul>

<h3>
Some fixes for the Registry
</h3>
<p>
On <a href="http://newlife-win98.server101.com/regfile/" target="_blank">this
site</a> I found some fixes for problems causes by errors in the registry. If the
original site isn't up anymore you can find my local copy <a href=
"regfix/reg_fixes.htm">here</a>. The fixes include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>restore the alphabetical sort order to the Start and Programs Menus
</li>
<li>fix a problem that the Windows 95 SendToX Powertoy has with Windows 98
</li>
<li>set your max cached icons to 4096
</li>
<li>restore accidentally associated .LNK files
</li>
<li>cascading Programs Menu
</li>
<li>Open New Window when right clicking a link in IE5
</li>
<li>showing .jpg files as Preview while viewing Window as a Webpage
</li>
</ul>

</p>
<p>
If you got any of this problems your Icon-Cache, meaning the one of your Windows
9x/NT OS is probably screwed up. There are tools out there that can help you here,
f.e. TweakUI (a program I don't use). The easiest way is just to force Windows
to rebuild the Icon-Cache. To do this right-click on the Desktop, select
Properties, go to the Appearance and under Item: select Icon. Now change the size,
press apply (the Icon-Cache will be rebuild now), change the size back and press OK
(the Icon-Cache will be rebuild again). Your Desktop icons etc. should be fine now.

<br>
<p>
The free and fully functional Genbank-File Viewer from <a href=
"http://register.informaxinc.com/solutions/vectornti/molecular_viewer.html" target=
"_blank">Vector NTI</a> allows you, in contrast to the Demo Version of Vector NTI
Delux, to copy and print the sequence. A disadvantage of this program is its
limited number of restriction enzyms. To overcome this problem simply copy the
Restriction-Enzyme file (*.ea4) from the demo version of Vector NTI Delux into the
Viewer folder, backup the old "enzyme.ea4"-file and rename the new file
to <b>enzyme.ea4</b>. Now restart the program and you will have access to a much
greater number of enzymes.
