Explorer (not responding)
I have a problem with my CD drives. When I put any kind
of a CD in either drive...the computer hangs and I get a "Explorer (not responding)" message when I hit Ctrl+Alt+Del. Was working fine until my computer froze on formatting of a new CD. Now I get this every time. Any suggestions would be appreciated! |

Possibly a hardware problem with your CD - try using an ordinary CD lens
cleaner on it -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "dcspecial" wrote in message ...

Try this..
Start/Settings/ControlPanel/System.. then DeviceMangler, then open the "+" for the CDROM item, then highlight your CDROM entry and click on "Properties". There, uncheck "DMA". Hope this helps! -- ================================== I have a problem with my CD drives.
