if you install Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=49AE8576-9BB9-4126-9761-BA8011FABF38&displaylang=en

in the command line tools
http://commandwindows.com/supporttools.htm
there is a program pstat.exe which gives information about the processes and drivers that are currently running.
You could run pstat.exe using the system function, e.g.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
    system("pstat > pslist.txt");                                         /* call system */

and then search the output file pslist.txt for what you require
