I had just bought a brand new computer in November (http://www.emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=eMachines_T6412), and while I was ripping cd's to Windows Media Player the was an error (forgot which one it was) but ever since then I can't rip, burn or even watch media off the CDs or DVDs without it slowing down my whole computer making the media impossible to watch or listen to because it plays soooo slow. But when it is not reading the CD/DVDW the system runs fine?

I upgraded my RAM to 1.5GB and I have a Radeon X800GTO PCI express card. So there should be no problem with playing any media?

I was ripping a Sony CD when the problem occured (if that has anything to do with it?)

If someone knows something about this or had the same problem and knows the solution please help me. I would very much appreciate it.

You probably caught a virus! sony had secretly put a virus in there music cd's to stop people from burning there cd's. there getting sued becuase of that. the virus left there computers open to hackers and other kind of people like that!
