It could be detecting CD burning software instead, and incorrectly
reporting it as emulation software.  In any case, the copy protection
system is defective. 

What programs have you installed that relate to CD-Burning, regardless of
whether or not they are currently on your computer?  Common ones would be
"CloneCD", "Nero Burning Rom"...

The task manager only shows processes - not services or drivers.  You can
cehck for services in the Control Panel under "Administrative Tools", where
you can select "Services".  This will show all services running on your
computer - but be careful when disabling those services as some are
required for the operation of the system.

Drivers can be retrieved by right-clicking on "My Computer", and selecting
Properties.  Under the Hardware tab, you can open the Device Manager to see
which devices you have installed - including virual devices used by
CD-emulation software.
