Whew! I'm glad that wasn't me!! DaChew was an excellent helper. That is a really nasty infection.
You mentioned the AVG rootkit scanner isn't available now. Avira has one of the best. It comes as part of Avira antivirus but it also can be downloaded as a standalone scanner.

Hi auggy, an update. In short, it turns out that i had a nasty rootkit infection that was causing all this trouble.
The rootkit is now dead, and my cd dvd writer writes dvd's with Nero as before. |

Can you try another user account with administrator privileges (create one if necessary) and see if the problem still occurs? |

That is where the recording tab should be, rather than in the drive properties in the Device Manager, so the problem may be elsewhere than with the drive itself.
Can you check that DMA transfer is enabled for the drive?:

Also, what computer do you have (make/model) and has the appearance of your problem coincided with any other change to the system such as installing chipset drivers such as NVIDIA nForce drivers or Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers. |

Well everything looks OK.
Can you right-click the drive in My Computer > Properties.
Under "Properties" is there a "Recording" tab, and if so, under the "Recording" tab is "Enable CD recording on this drive" selected? |

Can you click on "Driver Details" under the "Driver" tab to get a list of drivers for the drive (cdrom.sys, etc.)
Also, can you check the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CD Burning\Drives
Expand "Drives" and click on "Volume".
In the right window what is "Value data" for "Drive Type"? |

Can you double-click the drive in the Device Manager > Driver.
What is the "Driver Date" and "Driver Version"?
If you click on "Driver Details" what is listed under "Driver files"? |

@ jabarnut
If i uninstall SP3 then i will be left with only Xp Pro, without any service packs, right?
Or will it automatically go back to Win Xp SP2?
I got the SP2 installer from MS, 272MB.
@auggy
I tried the fixit provided by MS.
Didnt work, unfortunately.
Umm, should i backup my data before i do this?
EDIT: uninstalled SP3, automatically went back to SP2, so thats good. What sucks though is i am STILL getting the bloody error. |

There are a few things you can consider trying before reverting back to SP2.
The first thing I would suggest is the registry fix in the following MS KB article:
»support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
Removing the UpperFilters and LowerFilters values, if they exist, at the named registry key may prevent an incompatible third party driver for the drive from loading. |

said by Mele20 :Can't you just uninstall SP3? I upgraded a virtual machine to SP3 a long time ago, used it for awhile, and then uninstalled it. Yea, I'm a little curious about that myself.
You should be able to uninstall SP3 via Add/Remove (if you think SP3 is indeed the problem), so I'm wondering why you're looking for a SP2 download. (Remove SP3 for now, and see if that corrects the problem).
Anyway, for what it's worth, I've installed SP3 on several XP machines (quite a while ago), and never had a single problem with any of my burning software...and that includes quite a few of them depending on the machine....Nero, Ashampoo, NTI CD Maker Gold, ImgBurn, etc.
Not to mention a bunch of different hardware. (Guess I'm one of the lucky ones).

Hi,
I know that your fix worked for over a year, But have you tried to burn without the fix? A shot in the dark...
I myself have switched to Ashampoo 2009 and studio 8 with no problems on two laptops and two desktops all with SP3.

After a little searching it seems a few people have encountered a similar problem after installing SP3 on their machines.
The only solution seems to be reverting to SP2.
But then again, many hundreds of thousands have probably upgraded without any such issues.
Im just not one of them!
Maybe its that particular driver of my DVD writer which is incompatible with SP3 for whatever reason.
In that case, i have to revert to SP2.
Ofcourse im assuming when i do that, all will be well!
So thats on the to-do list this weekend. |

You make me glad that I never have upgraded to SP3. I haven't because I have been afraid of some weird problem like yours happening. My computer was 3 years old in February and I can't see upgrading the service pack on one that old and as heavily used as mine with lots of software installed/uninstalled, Microsoft virtual machines installed, VMWare virtual machines installed, etc.
Can't you just uninstall SP3? I upgraded a virtual machine to SP3 a long time ago, used it for awhile, and then uninstalled it.
edit: I have 6.6.0.16. It has NEVER made a coaster. Every other burning program I tried made lots of coasters and some wouldn't work at all especially burning an ISO. Only Nero can burn an ISO with no problems (and on the first try). Sonic came on this computer and it was the worst of all and very difficult to remove. Nero crashed when I first got it because there were bits of Sonic still on the computer. I can't say enough good things about Nero 6 and XP. But if Nero said you needed that Burning Rights thingy after you installed SP3...I am not EVER going near SP3!
