Go to www.fusionconvertor.com/updates and compare the listed version numbers and your version. You can find your version and build numbers by clicking on Help-About Fusion Convertor.

• When a proprietary Akai or Roland CD or drive is ready on your computer, it should show in the Akai Browser as an entry listed similar to what is shown to the right.
• Fusion Convertor™ does not usually refresh it's own display when CD's are put into the drive, like the default Windows setup is. To be sure your screen is refreshed, press F5 to refresh. Your CD may show up then.
• If then, if the device does not show like illustrated to the right, you probably have an ASPI issue. It either is
  1) not installed; install it off installation file.
  2) installed, but not the proper ASPI version; reinstall ASPI please install it off installation file.
  3) you need to do a small renaming operation. Rename the wnaspi32_nero.dll file to wnaspi32.dll, then restart Fusion Convertor™.

• Does Fusion Convertor™ stall when it's reading the drives (as noted in the Splash Screen)? Try pressing SHIFT on the computer keyboard as you start up Fusion Convertor™. This erases the registry keys and clears up false entries. Then restart Fusion Convertor™.
• If it still stalls, press CTL-R on the computer keyboard as you start up Fusion Convertor™. This prevents Fusion Convertor™ from checking for proprietary drives upon start up.
• To accomplish the same thing as CTL-R, then the text "/NOSCSI" (without the quotes) to your Target name in your shortcut. Right-click on your shortcut, and see the Target: field. Modify it to look something like this:
  "c:\Program Files\Alesis\Fusion Convertor\fusionconvertor.exe" /NOSCSI
• If it still stalls, do you have a card reader - such as SmartMedia or CompactFlash? Unhook it (if USB) or make sure there's a card in the reader. It's common that these devices do not time out properly, and prevents Fusion Convertor™ from opening.
• if it still stalls, you may have an ASPI issue, as Fusion Convertor™ is somehow stalling when trying to access a drive. See above for more information.

• If Fusion Convertor™ stalls, it could be because of the sound system used for the Waveplayer. Restart Fusion Convertor™ while pressing CTL-N on the computer keyboard as you start up Fusion Convertor™. This prevents initialization the sound system.
• To accomplish the same thing as CTL-R, modify your shortcut. Right-click on your shortcut, and look at the Target: field. Modify it to look something like this:
  "c:\Program Files\Alesis\Fusion Convertor\fusionconvertor.exe" /NOSOUND
  Adding /NOSOUND does the same thing as pressing CTL-N upon startup.

• Does Fusion Convertor™ refuse to even appear? Try pressing CTL-ALT-DEL, and see if Fusion Convertor™ is listed there. If it is, click the End Task button. Fusion Convertor™ can only have one instance running. Sometimes when you close Fusion Convertor™, it may not completely shut down for a variety of reasons.
• Does the white and green splash screen appear? If it doesn't, try turning your video resolution to 256 colors. The graphics on the splash screen somehow conflict with certain video cards or sub-systems. A more permanent solution is to add the line "/STRIPSPLASH" (without the quotes) to your Target name in your shortcut.
  "c:\Program Files\Alesis\Fusion Convertor\fusionconvertor.exe" /STRIPSPLASH
