I was talking about this with Arrizx earlier and we were unable to come up with a good solution to it. This post is a freaking book but I believe you will find all the details to be very odd. Here's the deal...
Whenever I double-click a DVD in the drive, explorer.exe locks up and therefore "My Computer" locks up. Ending task requires sitting there for 5 minutes waiting for explorer to restart or starting the process manually.
Naturally, I've downloaded firmware updates, tried to disable and reinstall the drivers, done system restores to like 3 months ago, failing on all counts.
I was unable to burn isos to the volume because of some error which I can't remember and can't really recover (we'll go over that in a sec).
However, iTunes was able to recognize that there is a blank disc in the drive, and right now I can see the Oblivion icon and a DVD which uses 4.16GB or whatever it was, but it still doesn't work. Here's the funny part. At this moment I'm typing from a clean machine. I freaking formatted my entire computer trying to get this thing to work. I backed up everything I needed but that's beside the point. All I've done is install a couple display/networking drivers and antivirus software, but it's still locking up, all this work for nothing. I have been trying to fix it since about 24 hours ago and haven't gotten anywhere. So tell me...
Does anyone have the slightest idea what might be wrong here?
