Help, Vista crashes after inserting a DVD!

[Nazgul9]

Vista still seems to be in beta...

Everytime i insert a media in the DVD drive Vista just hangs. WTF?!

Found out that reinstalling the IDE driver helps, untill the next reboot, then it stops working again.

My motherboard is a Biostar tForce 965PT (VIA ide controler), latest bios installed, drivers are the ones the OS installed. My system is Windows Vista x64 with latest patches.

Anyone any idea how to fix this?

Btw, in XP it works fine.

follow the instructions in the link below for creating a memory dump of the hanging app, most likely it will be explorer.exe that is hanging. you can also check c:\windows\minidump and zip up any .dmp files that you find there and pm them to me if you want.

First of all, thanks for offering your help.

Prior to doing anything i have a few question (some may sound stupid, no pro here):

1. Does this debugging tool, you know, slow down the system, take up resources (is it adviced to uninstall it afterwards)?

2. When exactly should i press CTRL + SCROLL LOCK, after it hangs (how can it respond if the system hangs?) or just before?

3. I don't have a c:\windows\minidump folder, why's that? Shouldn't there be one?
