I have a Win98se,Athlon 900 MHz PC, 256 MB RAM. I can play music CDs without a problem, but when ever I insert a data CD, for example, Win98, AOL, MSN or any software or hardware driver CD, my PC locks up, and I must power off the machine! This happens with every 'data' CD disk I insert. Can anyone help?

Well, at this point I would look into any conflicts with CD software (burning software especially). I recently had a problem with my CD RW shutting the comp down when a blank CD-R was inserted...only difference here is that my burner could read data CD's no problem. Just search the thread about "computer shuts down when inserting blank cd r" or something to that effect. I uninstalled Nero, and things are back to normal. Let me know how things go.
