Hello,

That's not a services - those are kernel drivers. Not regression - they never
worked before. Also make sure you doing this on the clean WINEPREFIX.

Ken Sharp used the term "service" in generic fashion. Kernel drivers are system
services, they have their own service type.

Those issues are result of Wine's new UI crash handler.
Earlier, kernel driver hosting processes died rather silently and the problem
lived rather unnoticed (except for the bug reports which included backtraces).

Regarding this bug ... those drivers are part of Windows Media Player package.
They belong to the Roxio burn engine, installed in sub-installer
(engsetup.exe).

You have to disable them ("Start"=dword:00000004) to prevent automatic startup
(and subsequent crash).
I suggested to add winetricks post-install step which does this because the
drivers are of no use due to missing Wine kernel infrastructure.

Regards
