This is a major problem with CD copy protection. It's buggy too often. I can only say that you MUST join a game forum and flood the devekopers with posts about this crap.

Did you know that a version of SecuROM for Neverwinter Nights *blacklisted* LITEON burners!!? The workaround was to unplug the burner from the IDE port. This nonsense lasted for over a week before the fools at Bioware decided that it was a bad idea. One of the last official patches for NWN patched out SecuROM altogether.

As for a possible fix, secdrv.sys is conflicting with your chipset drivers, so re-install them after imaging your boot drive:

for Intel - install v-5.x
for VIA - try the latest
for others - visit your vendor's website.
