Cdex Needs Aspi Drivers

Someone has given me a winxp sp2 pc I created another user and deleted the old side because I have no disc to reformat the pc CDEX 1. Virtual Pool 4 Serial Number Error. 51 was installed before on the original user but when I set up the new user side it was not in the list of program files from the start up menu. So I deleted cdex from the add remove programs then downloaded it again from the net and reinstalled it. Now when I try to start the program I get this message: failed to load the wnaspi32.dll driver! Use the 'native NT SCSI library' option instead?' It gives a checkbox for either yes or no but wasnt sure if to select any or not.

Software programs such as CD digital audio extractors [commonly known as 'Rippers'] and CD-writing utilities such as CDRWin.

Will this effect the dvd player or anything?
