["Duplex Secure's SPTD driver can have a detrimental effect on drive performance"]

Hmmm...I went into my Control Panel to double-check that I had uninstalled Daemon Tools (Pro). It's not listed there but the folder is still in Program Files. When I click on the Uninstall exe., it just hangs about halfway through uninstalling. Maybe I should just delete the folder?

["Duplex Secure's SPTD driver can have a detrimental effect on drive performance"]

I've seen a couple of threads about this. I'm getting this message in my log but I'm not sure if my drive is failing or not. Attached is my log and an image from my System Information page.

My DVD RW drive is not always recognizing discs so I'm thinking my drive may be failing but I'm not sure what to do about the driver (or lack of). I believe I had Daemon Tools and Alocohol 120 in the past but I deleted them long ago.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
