Philips CD Writer pcrw1208 and win XP

My windows crashes and according to the error report it is because of the CD writer software. I have not installed any software (besides the driver supplied). Is there a specific driver for win xp

One thing you might try is seeing if your motherboard's bios needs to be updated, or maybe you need a new motherboard

Well what software are you using?  i'd agree with Fanpire, Nero is the way to go.  I suppose that Phillips came with some crummy software that isn't compatible with XP.  Is it "blue screening" your system or does the CD-RW program just crash?  Also try disabling the built-in CD-RW support of XP.  Start/Run/services.msc, stop the IMAPI CD-Burning Service and set it via Properties to Manual start (or Disabled).
