problems with DVD drive

[I4one]

Excellent link with mucho info (a nice read for sure).

I also wonder how many system BSODs are Sony's "RootKit" related (amongst who knows, how many others) and are causing all sorts of funky and weird problems, especially when these "rootkits" hide themselves as $sys$ "Drivers", and Embedded Nulls of 0 bytes (hidden CLSIDs)

Thanks for the "Sonic DLA" explanation and reference...now i know what the heck it is related to.

*edit;
oh btw - I am keeping that PDF for reference too ..but i'd MUCH rather learn *nix systems than to read all 72 pages of that PDF "just" to KNOW what all those Services are, WHAT they do, and How one service affects the others, and what happens when disabling some. It's reason #256 of why i dislike MS so much , just to learn a "proprietary" system, that can be used 'against' you, the Owner.

And the future, based on their past (MS's), ain't going to be no party - so i'm dumping them as soon as i can.
