If you have two optical drives just unplug the faulty CD and use the other as your master. It's obvious that when it tries to read a CD it uses all your cpu, happened to me with bad CD-Roms in Win98. It works fine when you haven't got a CD loaded I take it? The good news is that a new CD is very cheap. [img]smile.gif[/img]
