Hello,
I recently loaded Windows service pack 2 on my PC and ever since then my DVD rewriter does not read/write DVDs. I have installed the latest firmware for my DVD rewriter but that didn't solve my problem. When I insert a DVD and try to right click the icom under my computer, the PC freezes and then it says "Not Responding". Can someone please help.

Configuration: Windows XP service pack 2
Internet Explorer 6.0
