Cd drive problems

[Guest]

I've posted on this board a week or so ago, and I've tried a few things.
However the problem still is happening.
Both my CD-Rom and CD-R drives started doing the same thing. When I load
any CD after a reboot, it works fine. However a second CD shows up in
Explorer with the same labels and directories as the first one. It also
triggers the same autoplay as the first one. (of course it doesn't work
right) There are also some game CDs that will start the game menu, but
will give a message later to put the correct CD in the drive (and it is
already). It seems that some sort of reset isn't working.
I've replaced the IDE cable and reinstalled both drivers as well as
trying some registery suggestions people have made.
Any ideas are welcome.

found this problem solution on cdfreaks,
seemed to have worked for me..kinda scary because the download is an app but
it is legit and is a microsoft fix..as far as i can tell!
