\SystemRoot\SysWow64\Drivers\?????.SYS has been blocked from loading due to incompatibility with this system.

Is windows giving these false messages ?

What do these messages mean ?

I have deleted these drivers and also disabled some services and now Deamon
Tools 4.03 does not work anymore, even after reinstalling it.

Just a selection of drivers deleted:

Was it wrong to delete these drivers ?

Are these drivers maybe loaded for 32 bit windows ? like Windows on Windows
?

Or is some services that has been disabled the cause of the problems ?

Or maybe a recent windows update ?

A fine mess.

Apperently these drivers can be deleted, but some setting in the registry
will prevent the dvd drive from working.

Fixing it involves deleting some part of a registry key ;)

Not 100% sure if the nero drivers can safely be deleted... nero must be
using other drivers... how else would it be able to work ? ;)

I''ll install nero and see what happens just in case to restore my system to
full functionality as it wass.

Skybuck.
