Software for CDRW/DVD

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have a 3 year old Dell running Win XP SP2 which had Samsung SM-348b
CDRW/DVD combo drive.
I have been running Battlefield2 game and had periodic shut-downs. I ran
Dell Crash Analysis Tool which told me that the problem was with Application
Drivers cduf_xp.sys which is from Sonic Solutions and is part of Sonic's
Record Now. When I ran Dell Driver Reset Tool, it indicated that there were
no driver errors. Device Manager for the Samsung SM-348b CDRW/DVD combo
drive (over 3 years old) indicated the drivers were from Microsoft. I
believe the Sonic Now software was use to run the game from the CDRW/DVD.

Before I could fix the problem, the CDRW/DVD died and I have now replaced
it. The new drive came with software from Nero. After installing the new
drive, I tried playing the game which worked for a while, but then it
crashed as before. I ran the tools above and got the same messages. My
question is what determines what software is used to run a CDRW/DVD when a
game is played (set to autorun)? I have other software which are newer and
may be more compatible with Win XP and the game (Roxio and Nero as well as
Microsoft and Dell).

Your help is appreciated.
