Bad things to have in registry's filter list ...

[mad_fr34k]

Would it be a good idea to possibly try and make a list of filters, lists found through IMGBurn, that are a good idea to remove?

and put a walkthrough @ top or the bottom?

1. i) Create a backup of your registry: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/?ln=en (scroll down and click the link for Vista or 7 instructions)
ii) Download imgburn. It's a free program: http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
(it's also an excellent program imo)
iii) Go to Tools > Filter Driver Load Order. Select "ASAPIW2k". Click "Remove Selected Filter". Click "ok".
iv) Reboot

Whatever program installed that filter will no longer work properly.

kinda a self help filter guide.

i.e.

Okay, I kind of have a list over at http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=1307 (#6) . . .

But I'll add filters here when I remember to.


DLACDBHM (System32\Drivers\DLACDBHM.SYS), Version: 9.5.2.0 (1.0.0.1)
Company: Roxio
Copyright: Copyright © 2006 Roxio
Description: Shared Driver Component
FileVersion: 9.05.02a


Those are Roxio/Sonic's Drive Letter Access filters (packet writing software).
Bad news

InCDPass (system32\drivers\InCDPass.sys), Version: 5.5.3.1 (5.5.3.1)
Company: Nero AG
Product: InCD

incdrm (system32\drivers\InCDRm.sys), Version: 5.5.3.1 (5.5.3.1)

FileVersion: 5, 5, 3, 1
ProductVersion: 5, 5, 3, 1

I've found mostly Version 4.x of Incd causes nothing but problems and conflicts with Anydvd and Clonedvd, so . . .


Cdr4_xp (system32\drivers\Cdr4_xp.sys), Version: 8.0.0.212 (8.0.0.212)
Company: Sonic Solutions

Typically, I think NTI's Filecd, which is packet writing software installs that filter


Filter Name: MxlW2k
File Name: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\MxlW2k.sys
File Version: 1.1.0.121
File Description: MusicMatch Access Layer KMD
Product Name: MusicMatch Access Layer

Musicmatch has been known to cause problems with Clonedvd, but I don't know about Game Jackal.


Iviaspi (system32\drivers\iviaspi.sys), Version: 1.0.0.0 (1.0.0.0)
Company: InterVideo, Inc.
Product: InterVideo ASPI Shell

Typically that's installed by Pinnacle Studio (and possibly Windvd)

James, the developer of Anydvd, says that filter can cause problems: click http://forum.slysoft.com/showpost.ph...23&postcount=9

dvd43llh (System32\DRIVERS\dvd43llh.sys), Version: 3.5.0.0 (3.5.0.0)

Product: DVD For Free
Copyright: Copyleft © 2002 - 2005 RIF

dvd43 is completely useless if you own Anydvd, and may cause conflicts with Anydvd

Possibly Arcsoft Photo impressions installed that filter.

James, the developer of Anydvd, hates this filter. Typically it comes with HP software or as an Oak cd driver, and it may cause conflicts


SiRemFil (system32\DRIVERS\SiRemFil.sys), Version: 1.1.7.0 (1.0.0.0)

Concerning PxHlpa64, installing Winamp with burner (sonic/roxio) plugins can cause problems, apparently: click http://forum.slysoft.com/showpost.ph...0&postcount=42
