I just noticed in my Event Viewer under system this error:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7026
Date: 11/2/2001
Time: 8:44:39 PM
User: N/A
Computer: MAIN
Description:
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
cdudf_XP

I can't find any reference as to where it's listed to start up. Plus I don't even have a CDRW.

Never had it in Win2K. And I did a fresh install of XP Pro.
Any ideas on this one?

Well, I found out that this was part of Roxio's Easy Cd Creator. I reinstalled it and the error doesn't happen anymore.
They must have a bad uninstall process.

I had the same problem. After a quick visit to roxio web site I found a patch to correct the install problem. I 1st had to remove the stupid program, then I re-installed it, before re-booting run patch and then re-boot. Problem permanently fixed.

Cheers
