218255	2004-02-26 01:52:00	Greetings...When I put an audio CD in my CDR drive, the computer locks up. The hard drive light comes on solid & the computer has to be rebooted. A data CD works fine. I'm running XP. Anyone else had this problem?...Thanks!	dcurrie (5312)

It's possible that whatever program you have assigned to play Music CDs is consuming too much resources and resulting in a very slow and probably non respondant machine. You could also have other programs that are triggered when playing audio CDs like a lookup to the Music Database for names of the song/album etc. Before inserting the CD hold down the Right Shift Key, then insert the CD, this will disable the Autoplay. Then open up your Music Playing Program that you use and try to play the CD. If it plays fine, or the program doesn't load it would seem it's the program that is at fault and you may need to update it. Does your WinXP meet the required minimum specs? 128MB of RAM?
