Windows freezes when inserting a cd

When inserting a cd it looks like an attempt is made to read it but windows completely freezes and the only option is to power off. Any ideas?

    I reinstalled the latest driver for this device and all appears to be working. I did this very recently but it must not have installed properly, either that or a newer driver has just been released.

    Anyway thanks very much for your help, much appreciated.

I had this happen to me with corrupted CD's, or just old scratched ones. If it's not specific, but happens with every CD you put in, then try the following- right click my computer>properties>hardware>device manager>right click on your burner drive>properties> You'll find a troubleshooting option there, and if you click on the driver tab you can also update the driver or roll back to a former driver. Let us know it it worked out(use the comment option), if not we'll try figuring something out ;] Good luck

I have a microsoft windows 7 ultimateCD.I 'am unable to install due to the absence of autorun.dll.how can i install windows now?
It sounds like you are attempting to upgrade to windows 7 within an earlier version of Windows, and are having an issue with the earlier version missing files. The Autorun.dll file belongs to a component within windows responsible for automatically launching a program from a CD, once the disc is inserted.
My suggestion would be to back up all your files to a disk, boot with the Windows 7 CD, and perform a clean re-install (completely removing the previous version). You may be required to provide the CD product key belonging to the older version of windows you have, as well as the key for the Windows 7 disk. Or you could attempt to locate the disk you used for installing the previous version of windows you possess, and using the "repair" option. in both cases though, make sure you back up your files!

Computer wont bootup windows xp error loading operating system drive 1 not found please help me
1.Restart your computer. Immediately after the screen goes blank for the first time, press the F8 key repeatedly. The Windows Advanced Options menu appears. If the menu does not appear, restart your computer and try again. Use the cursor keys on your keyboard (your mouse will not work) to select Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER. Windows XP attempts to start.

.
If you recently installed new hardware, shut down your computer and disconnect the hardware. Then, restart Windows XP and troubleshoot your hardware to get it working properly.
3.
Restart your computer and press F8 again. This time, choose Safe Mode and press ENTER. Windows XP attempts to start in Safe Mode, which does not automatically start programs and hardware, and displays very primitive graphics. If Windows XP starts successfully in Safe Mode, you can remove any programs or updates you have recently installed. Then, restart your computer normally.

Performing a repair installation of Windows XP can fix many serious startup problems. While you should not lose any of your important documents, you might lose settings, and you will need to reinstall many updates.
Before performing a repair installation of Windows XP, you should have both your Windows XP CD and your product key available.
To perform a repair installation of Windows XP
1.
Insert your Windows XP CD into your computer.
2.
Restart your computer. If prompted, press a key to start from the CD-ROM.
When the Welcome to Setup page appears, press ENTER on your keyboard.
On the Windows XP Licensing Agreement page, read the licensing agreement. Press the PAGE DOWN key to scroll to the bottom of the agreement. Then, press F8.
When prompted, press R to have Windows XP attempt to repair Windows by reinstalling important Windows components.
The repair and reinstallation process might take more than an hour. Eventually, Setup prompts you to answer questions just as if you were installing Windows XP for the first time. For detailed instructions, read Install Windows XP.

My 6400 did up-grade and closed down. It re-booted and is now stuck on WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM screen. If I switch off and switch on, it just freezes at same place
Start the laptop and insert the Vista installation disc in the dvd tray. Now reboot the laptop with the disc in. When you see the Dell name tap the F12 key to get to the multiboot menu. When you see the menu come up, scroll down to DVD or cd player. The machine will then look at the dvd player to boot from, the disc will be read and you will see this "Hit any key to boot from CD", I usually just hit the space bar, this will start windows files loading. When windows has finished loading its files, it will ask you want to do. Scroll down and choose repair. Windows will search for all the Windows installations on the disc, there should be only one and it will be listed. Click on that and highlight it and click next. Vista will attempt to repair the boot.menu and the boot.ini files. When it is finished it will either tell you it fixed some errors or it will tell you that it cannot fix the repairs automatically. In most cases, the repair will completed and you just have to remove the disc and reboot when it tells you to. If it is unable to repair, it will give you other options, choose restore computer to an earlier time, choose a restore point before the update and click next....I usually go back a couple of days just to make sure, the computer will go through a system restore and back itself up a couple of days before the trouble. Reboot the laptop.

In that case unfortunately, you are probably going to have to get a Windows DVD. Set the laptop to boot off DVD, and reformat and do a complete reinstall.

Help please
If you cannot get the computer to go into safe mode then usually only option it to attempt repair, if you have the windows cd then load it into the computer and boot from the cd, when it comes up it will ask if you want to attempt a repair, when it finishes try to reboot back into normal mode and see if its ok, if not you may have to reload from completly (and lose all your data).

Lost cd drive - computer does not recognize any cd inserted. Computer is 5 years old but has plenty of memory available.
If the cd drive is actually running, but you are not able to access the information on the cd, check to see that the drive appears in windows explorer.
If it does appear, make sure you are current with your optional hardware updates at windows update, then take a look in the Device manager, right click the name of your cd drive, be sure it is enabled, and use the built in troubleshooter to attempt to fix it. This will help you to determine if you are in need of an updated driver for your cd drive, or whether the drive itself has failed.
Here is a link to an excellent Driver update tutorial if that is the problem....http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial119.html
If you are current with drivers for your machine, and the Device manager shows the drive is working correctly, please report back with you OS and the particulars of any error messages you receive when inserting cds and attempting to read/play them. Thanks.


I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

Can u help me?
You may insert the Windows XP CD and reinstall Windows XP just to be sure. Follow the instructions on your screen and format the C Drive. Make sure you install all the required drivers to make everything work.

If you are optimistic follow the following instructions:
This will help you attempt to repair your system (and not via the Recovery Console).
Insert the Windows XP CD and follow the instructions on your screen.
Then after a certain point, you will be asked for three options --
1. Install Windows
2. Repair via Recovery Console
3. Some other option I don't recall.

Select the first option.
Then again, follow the instructions on your screen and again the computer will ask you three options.
This time select the second one -- Attempt to repair the computer (Press R).

This should start the automated repair process. This has been observed to work most of the time, but in a few rare cases it doesn't work. So I suggest you try it if you have the patience. ;-)

Good Luck.

Pioneer dvd rw dvr 111d isn't burning properly I have a Pioneer dvd rw dvr 111d that's not working right. I use roxio easy cd/dvd creator 6 for burning movies. It only burns them only about 1.2x-1.5x and suppose to burn up to 16x. I've been using roxio with this burner for a long time with no problem. A month or so I had a problem with the sound(soundcard) and couldn't fix it so ended up reinstalling Windows XP. That fit the sound problem. I installed Roxio and it work for a time or two. Then one time I tried disc copier in Roxio it said no supported recorder was found. If this keeps happening to reinstall Roxio. Which I have Several times and a few times it would come up with that message and would work properly. Then I would shut down cpu and I rstart it and use Roxio it would come up with the no supported recorder message. Also when I start itunes it pops up a message saying the registry setting used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cd and dvd are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other cd burning software. Please reinstall itunes. I install itunes right before I started having this problem, I think. I haven't tried to reinstall itunes yet because I hate to lose my data. Is there a way you can save the data and uninstall and reinstall itunes? Does anyone know if itunes has anything to do with my dvd burning problems? Thanks
