Sony V505DXP with CD/DVD-Rom drive. XP Professional.
Problem: Used to be able to play commerical vCDs such as martial arts movies
etc.
After autoupdate and receiving a bunch of patches (including anumber of SP2
items) Windows no longer recognizes vCD disk (video CD. MPEGAV files with
..dat extension. No autoplay.exe file. Some files with .vcd extensions).
Symptom: Insertion of a vCD disk into the drive will cause the drive to spin
for a long time and then hangs up the computer. Need to turn power off to
stop the problem.
This is not a hardware issue as I can still play DVD movies and music CDs.
Reinstallting the drive (per instructions from Sony) did not work.
Updated firmware driver from Sony did not work.
None of the following programs work since the computer does not even
recognize what is in the drive: WMP 10, InterVideo, Herosoft vCD player.
Cannot do a system restore (or I won't still be in this soup!)
