Can't load cd's 1

When I try to load applications and games from cd's I keep getting a blue screen with either an exception error or system busy warning.This happens on both my Pioneer dvd writer and Samsung dvd drive.If I use nero to create or copy discs the drives work normally.

Do a clean boot to troubleshoot the problem:

Open the Iosubsys folder in C:\Windows\System, and rename the scsi1hlp.vxd file to scsi1hlp.old.

You're welcome, gendorian.
Glad to hear that things are fixed.
And thanks for posting back with the solution.

Also, thanks for the compliment, but never made it to the genius level. My highest IQ score was only 130(A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.).
