problem with media player 10 since installing VST instrument

[Guest]

can anyone help me with this one? I'm a musician using XP and I recently
upgraded from Cubase 5.1 to SX. Yesterday I downloaded a few new VST
instruments from a reliable website (www.kvr-vst.com) and installed them into
Cubase. I played a CD shortly afterwards and noticed that the sound quality
in Media Player was very distorted - didn't think too much about it and put
it down to the dodgy volume control on my speakers. However, when I rebooted
the computer a couple of hours later my CD Rom drive tray started
inexplicably opening and closing of its own accord. When I tried running a CD
in my DVD drive Media Player kept crashing. One of the VSTs that I downloaded
must have caused a conflict so I uninstalled the VSTs but the problem
remained. I've now uninstalled Cubase as well - the problem with the CD Rom
drive tray has stopped and I can now play discs in it and Media Player is
working again but the sound is still very distorted. When I play a disc using
Real Player the sound quality's fine. Any ideas anyone?

Check with "a reliable website (www.kvr-vst.com)" what may be the cause
of the problem. "Sounds" like the VST instruments are not compatible with
your system.
