DirectCD Error Message

[Guest]

On start up I get a message thats says that DirectCD has caused problems and
that the drivers will not be loaded. I don't use DirectCD and have never had
it installed on this system. To see the messages go to:

Any help to get rid of this annoying message would be appreciated. I don't
want to have to reformat and reinstall Windows if possible.
Thanks
