total computer novice here so please be easy on me

when trying to run Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4. on my older Dell Computer yesterday (fairly recently upgraded to XP from ME) I was getting some compatibility error messages.
I tried to uninstall the program (Adaptec) but think parts of it were still left behind which later were causing errors.... Windows was stopping certain drivers from loading at startup and the computer would automatically shut down at times.
I tried doing a system restore to no avail

I finally gave up (or so I thought I did) and decided to try uninstalling XP and go back to ME
I did so but now when I insert any cd into my cd-rom drive I get the blue screen error message listed in the topic header(0E: 0028: 00000005). I cannot get out of it without ctrl/alt/delete and because of it I have no access to my cd-rom drive

I searched high and low on the net for a solution and can't find anything

Any 'simple' explaination on how I can make this error go away and be able to access my cd-rom drive?http://www.freeregistryfix.com/

So you installed XP on top of ME as opposed to formatting the drive and doing a clean install? But you want to erase everything and do an install ME? I'm not clear on this part. Quote

yes I have found documentation about that on the web now that has made it more than clear that is the fact

yes I installed the XP upgrade without deleting the previous version of ME.
since I knew there was a conflict with the program and XP and my computer kept shutting down and restarting on its own because of some conflict I uninstalled XP and reverted back to the ME OS on my machine.

not sure I follow
are you asking me to reinstall XP which I just took off the machine in FAVOR of the original ME?
either way I cannot do anything with the cd drive
if I put a cd in it I get the blue screen error and the computer locks up
if I leave it in and reboot it does not start running when the computer restarts

last time I got the error I just left the cd in the tray and rebooted the machine
the cd did not automatically start up
and when I went to start/run/browse/my computer to access the D: drive the computer went to the blue screen error message again once I got to 'my computer'

here is a more detailed rundown of what happens when I insert a cd into the cd-rom drive

insert cd...close drive
blue screen error error: 0E: 0028: 00000005
press any key to continue... press space bar
black screen with hourglass (CLOCKING)
back to blue screen with new error: 0E: 016F: BFF8E64B
press any key to continue.. press space bar (press once same screen, press twice takes me to the following screen)
Explorer caused a general protection fault in module KRNL386.exe at 0001: 000075a8.
click on close ... same message...click on close again...computer locks up and have to power off and restart
