Do you have Nero, could be "nero image drive".  
If you really want to do a thorough check, go to Device Manager (Control 
Panel>System>Hardware), click the View menu and check "show hidden 
devices".  Then look through non-plug and play devices for something 
like an extra funky scsi driver.  A lot of the listings will be clear 
others won't, you could be even more thorough searching the internet to 
find out what the non-obvious devices are.  You might not find the 
emulator but you'll learn something about your system.
This may sound like an odd suggestion but you might want to go buy the 
expansion pack, resurrection of evil, the patch included with that 
removes the CD check, which if there weren't a cd check probably 
wouldn't care if there were cd emulation software present.
Or wait until the 1.3 patch comes out, should be soon.
