DVD drive causes major system spasms whenever disc is inserted?

I'm talking "total lock" - Winamp skips, mouse freezes, nothing responds. 100% CPU usage, IIRC. DMA is enabled - it's a LiteOn DVD-163 under WinXP.

None of my other drives do this. What gives?

- M4H
 
my liteon dvd-163 also does this, but it only did it once i updated the firmware to the latest one - GH5S. are u also using that one?

it doesnt bother me too much but i use my liteon cdrw drive more, and only use the liteon dvd for movies.
 
if you have Nero installed, just run the Infotool under the Toolit folder and it will tell you what FW you're running.
 
Have you tried disabliing Autoplay in the DCD drive Properties?

One of my DVD Roms used to give me problems soI disabled the autoplay option and started manually.

Worked for me.

HTH
