Microsoft Description:

Importance of IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service

  • This service manages burning CDs through the IMAPI (Image Mastering Applications Programming Interface) COM interface and performs CD-R writes when requested by the user through Windows explorer, WMP (Windows Media Player) or 3rd party applications which use this API.

  • The Image Mastering API (IMAPI) allows an application to stage and burn a simple audio or data image to CD-R and CD-RW devices. The API supports the following formats: Redbook audio and data discs with both Joliet and ISO 9660. The architecture allows for future expansion of the supported format set.

  • Stopping or disabling this service may prevent burning a CD-R. If a 3rd party CD-RW application is used, turning off this service may not impact recording to CD-R. If this service is started after log on, you must log off your computer in order to write data to CD-R media via your CD-R using Windows Explorer.

I recommend Digeus Registry Cleaner and Windsty Tune Up Suite as they are the best know on the market. They find and fix most of errors in the system than any other. I run them every time when my computer starts crashing or working slow. They also help to prevent and fix Blue Screen of Death problem.
