I get the BSOD from time to time, and Microsoft says the problem is DRVMCDB.sys with Sonic Solutions. I run on a DELL with Preinstalled Sonic Solutions software, including MyDVD. And Windows XP is the operating system. Help!

Ooops! Thanks. I totally missed that.

If it's a Dell computer, then you need Dell technical support.
Otherwise, use Roxio or Sonic Tech support depending on the software you have and if the knowledgebase article doesn't help.

Dell was useless... I had hoped you could help as others with similar Dell computers were helped. I have a Dell 8400 w/ Win XP Pro, Sonic Record Now! 7.1.0. I've struggled with this for over a year now.

This is the "bundled" prg that came w/ the Dell 8400 - and no, I didn't format the disc. Actually, the program generally works fine, it's on occasional reboots I get the BSOD and the DRVMCDB.sys error thing - and not necessarily after I've even used the Sonic Record Now! 7.1.0 prg. Maybe I should ask, "Since this (BSOD) goes away after I turn off the computer and reboot, is this something I should even worry about?" Is this the kind of deal that can lead to other "bad juju"? I guess the "Your system has recovered from a serious error" in the gray box on restart that sends cold chills down my spine. Sound so ominous. I know just enough to be dangerous and I've had to redo the whole thing a few times on various computers to know what fun that isn't.
