Hello,

When i put certain dvds in my drive they immediately start spinning but the autoplay doesn't load. When i try to open "computer" to try and explore or manually play the DVD windows explorer becomes unresponsive. This problem has occurred with a brand new game dvd, a brand new tv box set and some films. Other dvds and games run perfectly. Have just upgraded to windows 7 and the same problem is still there. Any ideas would be hugely appreciated.

Does device manager show ANY sort of fault with the unit? Any flagged errors etc? Does the same "faulty" CD/DVD work in another machine running either a different or identical Windows setup?
