You have lft-over references in the registry to some driver fie,
probably associated with old CD burning software and which is no longer
around. To tidy up, get a registry patch file, cdgone.reg, from
www.aumha.org/downloads/cdgone.zip, extract it, r-click on it and merge
it into the registry

You will then need to reinstall any burning software that you use.
