winxp service problems

Hey all,

I just upgraded to win xp pro sp1 from windows ME. It all works great except my cd burner doesnt burn cds all the way and after I log in the computer freezes until these certain services load. They are either svchost.exe, pctsplk.exe, dllhost.exe, or the cd writer imap service. It will go and show the desktop, stall for like 30 seconds to a few minutes, then finally load the other services and work fine. Can someone help me out on this? I have read the service article on what to set them to. I already did all that, but this started before I ever messed with the services. Also I have a yamaha external burner and I am using nero 5.5.7 burning rom to burn with. If someone can help please do, thanks.
 
Well to start things off you might need to update your via 4 in 1 drivers. Those can be found at www.viaarena.com

As far as the computer loading slow, I have experienced this problem from time to time, and to tell you the truth, I didn't change anything on purpose and it finally started loading faster.

So maybe someone else can help you with that, but I had problems with my burner when I upgraded as well. I installed the newest 4 in 1 drivers, as well as up to date ASPI drivers. This fixed my problem, but not my fiance's. I still can't seem to get her burner to work at all.

Hope this rambling helps.......If not, someone else will post something more worth while.
