    You shouldn't need a driver other than the one installed with windows. Are you having issues?

    Possibly the copy protection on the disc is causing the errors if the drive is working fine otherwise. I'd head over to CDFreaks. There is lots of knowledgeable peoples over there in regards that sort of thing. Have you checked on BW's website to see if anyone else is having problems?
