Roxio/ DirectCD installation

I installed old versions of
-DirectCD from Adaptec (v3.01D) and
-CDCreator (v4.02D) on a system using XP professional OS.
When installation was completed, a panel saying that the sys. may become
unstable appeared. I proceeded do uninstall using Norton Cleansweep but
several dll files were left behind. Norton tells me that the system has no
issues but every time the computer starts it has a panel on the task bar
saying that devices/applications are disabled and may cause the system to be
unstable. Windows prevented these drivers from loading.
How do I
1)make sure that system is OK and
2)stop this panel from showing up?

Try going to run,type:Msconfig In Msconfig,locate services tab,chk the box
"Hide
all microsoft services",locate the cdcreator or relevant software,uncheck the
box(s),then open services tab,do the same,save and exit,restart computer.On
restarting xp (desktop),chk the box when Msconfig opens,"Do not show on
start-
ing windows".You'll also want to delete cdcreator from
regedit,run,type:regedit
expand:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,software,locate,R.click on it,delete,close.Expand:
HKEY_LOCAL_USER,software,do the same,then close regedit.Try search in my
computer,search in hidden files,folders,delete all for it.
