Hi All, This is very Long...Appoligies for this, but I'm Stumped/Baffled by what's happening....
HOPE You can HELP...I know how Good you lot are...
Here Gos------

I opened my "Task Manager" I incerted a CD with these 4 PTE Images....(PicturesToExe). (Also Happening with a few of my photo CDs in Tiff format...Thumbnails takeing ages to show the pic)..
The Window Opens but remains BLANK while the Rom Drive is searching for these Images....Task Manager is Showing a "Folder" (image) when it should be showing a "CD" image..!!
I close the disc Window, Monitor goes Black then Refreshes n I lose my "Security Gaurd from the Quick Launch Bar.....I Click the Rom Drive n Task Manager shows the "CD image"this time...Takes 3 minutes for PC to show these Images in the window..

I will then do this in All 3 Drives----DVDRom Drive, DVDR/W Writer/CDR/W Writer..The same things Happen in All 3 Drives...
Now then, When my Task Manager is showing the "Folder icon image" n I click on (processess/performance/networking, then back to the APPS., A Folder and a CD image will be showing of the same thing with "Not Responding"...3minutes later the window will show the 4 images of PTE.

Something in this PC has gone corrupt!!....Is it a Driver or Task Manager, or Memory, or Services.....I'm Stumped/Baffled..
Any Ideas.....
