VxD Problem

If I reboot the system WITHOUT a CD in the CD-ROM drive, I get a blue screen with the following message: "An exception OE has occurred at 0028:C169DE09 n VxD SCSIPORT(01) + 000007D9. This was called from 028:C182F404 in VxD scsi1hlp(03) + 00000774. It may be possible to continue normally". When I try to continue by pressing a key I get a black screen with the cursor. Then I reboot. The system reboots in the SAFE mode. To get back to the NORMAL mode I must insert a CD into the CD-ROM drive and reboot. I've seen evidence suggesting that the problem may be the Nero software I'm using with my Yamaha CRW-F1 CD-RW Drive, but I've not seen any instructions to remedy the problem. The System Properties dialog information indicates that the Yamaha is operating properly.
