driver blocked due to compatability issues

Question

original title: driver blocked due to compatability issues... please help

The Program Compatibility Assistant pops up a window every time I boot up my cpu. It says Driver blocked due to compatability issue...

Driver: CD recording software

Publisher: Roxio, Inc.

Location: Not availabile

It has been doing this for a long time. I don't remember exactly what it was i tried to install but as soon as it failed and gave me that message I went through remove programs and took it off... I have also tried to disable the drivers, update the drivers, uninstall and reinstall..   I finally took both my dvd and cdrw drive out of the cpu and it still gives me this message.... I just bought a new DVD player that is firewire and plugged it in... at least it works but I still get the error message..  how can I make it go away, I have deleted any and everything related to Roxio from my cpu that I can find..

Here is how to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista to disable some of the unnecessary programs that automatically load on start-up

Also, try this Program to look for and take it out of Startup:

[http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx)

This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system
 bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure*Autoruns* to show other
 locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more.*Autoruns* goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows
 Me and XP.

Cheers.

Roxio:  Software are usually named:  EZ CD / DVD  Creator; EZ Media Creator ; DirectCD : Drag to Disk.

Answer 3

Okay, I have done both these tools now.. I think i went crazy deleting things because i somehow disabled my net card and had to do a restore to get it back.. so now i'm back at square one.. there is nothing in msconfig or that other program that relates to ROXIO and anything that looked like it had something to do with a dvd or cd driver or program i got rid of. I'm still having the same problem.
