As other mentioned, it could be the DirectCD. DirectCD and similiar
software allows you to use CD burner like a hard drive. You should
uninstall and remove DirectCD and other Roxio software and see if that
helps clear your problem.

Yes, after posting, I spent the evening researching and Googling the
particular file, and I found out what you said. I am in the dark as
to whether the term DLA refers to IBM *hardware* or to mere CD-
writing. Since I have always availed myself of this CD-writing
software, I'm in the dark as to whether anything on XP will assume
this "responsibility" if I totally delete IBM proprietary CD-writing
software from my computer.

The question arises as to why, out of the gabazillion files from
Service Pack 2 that AREN'T in conflict with pre-existing files, this
one measly driver should put such a bee in Microsoft's bonnet.

Again, thanks.
