What exactly is SPTD.SYS ?
I have been told that it is a system32 file and that it is malware/spyware and some have been deleting it and then their safe mode boot pauses after the sys files load, but dont know if that is a coincidence.
There are also stories of people getting the message:
Press Esc to load SPTD.SYS during safe mode boot

Y'know, it's not that hard to find your own answers (instead of relying on "someone told me... ")

It is not a scumware or spyware file. However, if you install Vista, that PITA file will put a wedge so deep between Windows & any optical emulation software that you try to install that it might as well be spyware ;-(

SPTD.SYS is part of daemon tools, a cd/dvd emulation tool, that allows you to mount iso images as virtual drives.
