I have now worked out how to Interpret the Event Viewer
and I am getting loads of entries such as:
The protected system file c:\winnt\system32\gpkrsrc.dll
could not be restored to its original, valid version. The
file version of the bad file is 5.0.2144.1 The specific
error code is 0x800b0100 [No signature was present in the
subject].
and
The system file c:\winnt\ime\imejp\imejpcus.dll could not
be copied into the DLL cache. The specific error code is
0x800b0100 [No signature was present in the subject].
What has happened, is it a virus or something?

What apparently has happened is that some utility you've
run (inadvertantly or not) or some installation script you've
run (inadvertantly or not) has modified or replaced some files
that have been deemed critical to the operation of the OS.
When this is detected, Windows 2000 (and later) will try
to restore the "known good" version.
When you insert the CD, two things are happening. First, the
fixup-changed-file process looks for the good version and
copies it off. Second, the shell receives the PnP notification of
something in the CD drive and then autoplays it (hence the
splash).
If you go to the event viewer (EVENTVWR), you could look
in the system event log for events that will tell you what files
were replaced.
