Wit's End with "Direct Access Component" Conflict

DirectCD and its descenders has always been source of crashes. I recommend
to get rid of that crappy technology. With USB flash drives available, there
is no reason to keep dropping files to a CDRW.

Usually, incompatibility with OS update happens when some 3rd party
component had a bug or was using undocumented reverse-engineered functions.
Such a bug or undocumented feature could be benign in a previous version,
but any slight modification in the OS could cause it to puke.

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.

Yeah, now that I think of it, this is true! Thanks--a great deal--to
you and Impmon. I'll let you know how it goes.
