Even though Win98 forum symptoms and error are so similar you may want to take a look at the proposed fixes.

Error Message "...cdrpwd(01)+0000ad23"
The file "cdrpwd" was installed by Adaptec's EZ CD Creator software and since it is referenced in the error message EZ CD Creator is probably the cause.
1) One possible fix submitted by a user is as follows:
1) Boot in safe mode
2) un-install direct cd and ez cd creator
3) delete the file "cdrpwd.vxd" in the windows\system32\drivers folder (Version info shows it as a beta direct cd driver from roxio.)
4) eload direct cd from the original cd
2) another possible solution submitted by a user is as follows:
a) rename the file Cdrpwd.vxd to cdrpwd.old in the c:\windows\system\iosubsys
b) make sure that the attribute of the files in the directory are not hidden.
c) restart the computer
