the system hangs when the cd drive light comes on. sometimes it just hangs for a moment and recovers..sometimes, it locks up the computer completely and I have to reboot. Up until now, the cd has work just fine.
I have deleted the cd from device manager and reinstalled it. I have tried removing all unnecessary tasks from msconfig for startup. I have also virus sanned.
It almost appears that the hard drive and the cd rom drive are "talking" when the cd light comes on.
I have tried everything I can think of. Please help.
Do you have a virus scanner set to scan all drives? Or perhaps an indexer program like Microsoft Fast Find running?
