DVD Uses 100% of CPU

Whenever I put in my half life DVD in, the CPU usage jumps to 100%, all of which is used by the "System" process. I tried this with a regular DVD (ie a movie) and it doesn't have the same affect at all. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

    It might be a problem with the DVD drive letter component. If you right click on the DVD drive, go to properties, there may/should be a check box for Drive Letter Access (DLA). Uncheck this and see how you get on. If that doesn't work, give me a shout back, as I have another more complicated solution.

    It's a pity nobody answered as I have the same problem.  I've got a Dimension but I'm just browsing the boards looking for inspiration.  I am stuck!

    I just came back to say I'd found a post by DELL Mel which works, but I see you've beat me to it.  Mel recommended deleting the Sonic DLA programme entirely.  I've just done it and it works.  Your way sounds a bit less lethal though, but too late.
     
    Anyway - thanks for the response.
     
    Cheers
