I had to go in the Registry to delete a program,
named Direct Letter Access (DLA) by HP for their
CD Writer + 7200e, that would not uninstall.
Now while booting up, Windows 2000 gave this message:
" Unable to load device driver
\system root\device driver could not be loaded
Error status was 0xc0000020 "
How can tell what driver Windows wants so I can give it ?
Or could it be related to the old program and how can I stop it ?
Help is much appreciated

HP had a problem with this with several of the CD Writers working on Windows 2000. The HP site does offer updated drivers and new apps, some for free, some you have to pay for, to solve the problem.
