When you reboot the machine do you do a warm or cold boot?
I have to hit the reset button and NOT do an alt+clt+del to get the
vaspi.sys
to load. Why this happens, I don't know and I have tried everything I
can 
think of.  It is a minor inconvenience, but since I don't turn the
machine
off unless it is necessary it does not bother me to much.
