my workstation sometimes hangs up when i insert some compact disk (cd); as in it hangs up; no mouse movement; no LED display in numlock, capslock, scroll lock; by cold booting the pc and not ejecting the cd in the drive the data can be read. i already update the needed patches and critical fixes, but still same problem occurs.
 
My system has been doing that recently as well on SP2 RC2. I have
disabled Autorun which seems to have fixed any problems of locking up.
This is not a good solution though, but it will work in the meantime.
Hopefully you and me both can get a little help here :)

Unfortunately, I think it is the CD/DVD Drive that is causing the
problems and not Windows (at least on my end).

As Mr. McNulty has said, this problem may be caused by your cd-rom drive
failing. Try a different drive and see if that cures things.
