Hello,
I have problems with CD/DVD ROM.
Normally it was able to read any CD/DVD before when I had Windows XP Pro SP2 installed.
Now after I reinstalled the OS and decided to go with Windows XP Media Center Edition, my optical drive can’t read any of multi-session CD or DVD, thus crashing Windows to “Blue Screen of Death” every time I place in a multi-session CD or DVD. Besides, even if it sometimes accepts a multi-session CD or DVD, still it can display only the last session burned, so I have to access other previous sessions via tools like IsoBuster. Other than that it can read fine any burned CD or DVD.
I would like some help from any of you with the drivers or anything.
System specifications are:
Laptop: Acer TravelMate 290
Optical Drive: QSI CDRW/DVD SBW-242, DVD:8x, CD:24x/10x/24x
OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 Media Center Edition
Thanks a lot in advance!

DVD43.SYS may have been installed (in your Windows\System32 folder) as part of another program.

Try renaming it to DVD43.SYX and rebooting.

The following information was posted at the CDFreaks forum:Dvd43.sys file information

The process Video DVD protection removal tool or Video DVD Helper belongs to the software DVD For Free by Captain Red (www.dvdidle.com/dvd43.htm) or Fengtao Software Inc (www.dvdidle.com).

Description: File Dvd43.sys is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers. Known file sizes on Windows XP are 26048 bytes (66% of all occurrence), 35296 bytes. The driver can be started or stopped from Services in the Control Panel or by other programs. The program has no visible window. There is no detailed description of this service. File Dvd43.sys is not a Windows system file. Therefore the technical security rating is 5% dangerous, however also read the users reviews.
Important: Some malware can camouflage themselves as Dvd43.sys, particularly if they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder.

Thanks much for help.
I have uninstalled DVD43 and so far no BSOD at multi-session CD/DVD reading.
