1. I use CDBURNERXP
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Nov 28, 2006 5:49AM PST

2. I install the drivers for the machine and then reinstall directx.

Item 2 is what we've done for all versions of Windows. Microsoft doesn't do this for us and PC owners are always amazed at that.

What driver.

Exactly. Given only this small feedback about your machine I can't offer what drivers I'd install.

Link, instructions.

Maybe you are in the UK or not, but find the packardbell site and follow their notes about serial number to locate the drivers for the motherboard and audio.

-> Here's my bet. Someone installed XP Pro on your machine and didn't install all those lovely drivers Microsoft doesn't supply. Besides your post noted XP Home and your last post indicates XP Pro.

Something's very out of control.

Go to the maker's website and get the drivers for your machine and install them.
