DVD Drives Cause System Freeze

[CT]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I put a new Sony dual layer DVD burner in my PC and I found that the system
freezes when I try to play a DVD. This happens for my other DVD-ROM as well.
It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen. I insert the DVD and
autoplay tries to start the disc. It quickly freezes up, however. The only
way to recover is the reset button.

Any suggestions as to how to correct the problem?

Is your Power Supply adequate enough for an additional drive? What DvD
software program are you using? Do you have
the Region set correctly?

Yes, the power supply is more than powerful enough. I am currently using
Intervideo WinDVD 6 Platinum. Yes, the region is set correctly.
