Which update is the trouble-maker?
Unfortuantely, I did not backup the original files. Instead, I formatted the hard drive. There are several updates available from Ulead. Do you know which one is the touble-maker? Before recent problem, I did have all the updates installed and it worked. That puzzling me. Anyway, at least there is a hope. I will try to re-intall the VS 6 and then install the patches one by one. Thanks for your input.

80040154 error was taken care by deleting new driver
Thanks to joegib. I followed your advise and delete the contents within
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ulead Systems\DVD
then use the original CD to run "repair". The problem is gone now. It costs me 2 weeks of struggle, keep installing and unstalling the application and even reformatting the hard drive. I am glad that finally it works. Thank you again.

Problem still exists but the other kind
It was too early to smile. After deleting the
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ulead Systems\DVD
folder and repair VS 6, the "80040154" error was gone which used to happen at the step 5 of final DVD or CD burning. I did test it by writing short movies (one is 5 seconds and another one 15 minutes) to CD media, using the trouble-making DVD+RW writer. Both were successful. Unfortunately, when I tried to write to DVD media for a 1 h 45m vedio (DVD NTSC format), it failed at the very last minutes. It went through step 1-5 and stay at step 6 for a while. I believe it was failed at the very end. The error message was something like "generic error from DVD/CD writer", etc. I tried twice and the same problem appears.
Also, one thing puzzling is I cannot create the last scene frame for some reason. It was closed to the end of the mpeg file. I cannot stop scrolling bar at the point I want. Instead, the scrolling bar automatically jumps back to the beginning of the movie. Previously, when "80040154" error exists, I do not have this kind of problem.
Any idea? Thanks in advance.

This sounds like it could be a quite separate problem. Typically, marginal media will fail at the end of a burn so it could be that the writer decides it can't burn to the full nominal capacity of the disk and the burn fails.
An experiment you could try is to use DVD Shrink on a source disk exceeding, say, 5 Gig. Shrink will create a full 4.3 Gig file set and attempt to burn it to the media. Using the same media, of course, if the burn fails or the playback is poor at the end of the video, that would point to media being the problem.
