BSoD as I turned off computer. sonic page says to either upgrade, disable or uninstall. I don't know if I can uninstall it since I use itunes to burn discs. Not sure how that works. I linked to the help page from Sonic below.

It caused BSOD at XP pro IBM laptop

It causes one or several crashes during browsing, running DVDs or maybe just doing nothing. It sometimes several re-boots (some of which may fail) for the system to stabilize. The problem is so enigmatic that it takes ages to dicover the root cause to be this Sonic Driver. Interrogating the appropriate web-page at Sonics supplies "page unavailble due to excessive demand". Well, that's the first non-surprise

It was causing a BSD, so I searched for the file. Seems it was a system file for IBM DLA (this was on a ThinkPad laptop). I uninstalled IBM DLA, and the blue screens stopped.
