Wit's End with "Direct Access Component" Conflict
For the last three weeks, after installing Service Pack 2 on my
ThinkPad R40 (Service Pack 2 was necessary to run Windows MovieMaker successfully), I've gotten blue screen crashes on powering down. The error messages from MS indicate a conflict with something called "Direct Access Component," which upon investigation *seemed* to have been my CD drive and/or its software, created by Roxio. The software apparently was an IBM proprietary version of Roxio called RecordNow. In any event, a visit to the Roxio website and subsequent searches turned up many forum posts on conflicts between Roxio and Service Pack 2; there was a disclaimer by Roxio that the conflict has not yet been addressed by that company. I deleted everything containing "ROXIO" from my registry. I have tried to use Registry Mechanic to help, but unless I "Safely Disconnect" my CD drive before powering down, the blue screen of death occurs. Unfortunately, the blue screen message flashes and crashes too fast for me to actually read what it says (and any input on how to pause or maintain the screen would be appreciated; I've even tried a Print Screen to no effect). I hadn't taken a look at my Start Up file in a while and found it to be a juggernaut almost a screen long. (Any suggestions on where I could post the start up file to identify what is--or isn't--vestigial/ unnecessary would also be greatly appreciated.) In any event, before wiping out the HD, reinstalling Windows, and then installing Service Pack 2 via a MS-provided CD--which I have absolutely no reason to believe will solve this problem, since by reinstalling I will of necessity be reinstalling all the Roxio crap--I would so deeply appreciate any help anyone could give me here. Thanks for reading this. |

I just tried to power-down without first "Safely Disconnecting" the CD
drive. I glimpsed this on the blue screen: Page Fault in Nonpaged Area. |

This should cause the BSoD to stay on rather than crashing and restarting. Crash number would help a lot in telling where the problem is. Once you find the number, use Google and type in "xp stop error" and the code number. ie "xp stop error 0x00000063" This should yield a few result that can explain why you are getting BSoD and some suggestion on fixing the problem. I did what you suggested and came up with the following: Page Fault in Nonpaged Area Stop: 0X00000050 (0XFA2A4920, 0X00000000, 0XF93E0A28, 0X00000000) drvnddm.sys--Address F93E0A28 base at F93E0000 THE BSoD SAID THE DRVNDDM.SYS WAS THE PROBLEM. |

That particular error usually indicate driver conflict. When 2 or more are trying to control the same resources and won't play nice, Window crashes. 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. |

Roxio is using their own drivers to mimic ASPI.
Start Regedit, and open the following key (registry 'folder'): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} You will see the following values: LowerFilters, UpperFilters. They may contain names like cdr4_xp, cdr4_2k, cdralw2k. Delete them. Reboot. Old Roxio WinOnCD 6 works for me with SP2, though. But I don't install that piece of crap called DirectCD. You shouldn't, either. Your problem is caused by a similar **** (Direct Access). wrote in message oups.com...

When I opened RegEdit, under this entry I found +0000 |_DigitalAudio - 0001 - Properties I don't know which of these to delete and can't locate the LowerFilters, UpperFilters. These entries are not called cdr4_xp or any of the others you specified. Until I'm more certain of which of these I should delete and which I should keep, I'm too apprehensive to delete any. But thank you for posting. |
