| DVD problem Had to replace MoBo, Vista booted to the Desktop OK despite the new MoBo having a totally different chipset etc. However one problem niggles, if a CD/DVD is inserted any attempt at accessing the contents in Explorer locks up the system and I loose the Desktop, even Cntr+Alt+Delete doesn't work. On first boot Vista wanted me to activate due to the new hardware config so I did, with hindsight maybe I would have been better off doing a repair install, as I am now concerned a repair install will require activation this could be a problem with Microsoft maybe?. I have tried uninstalling DVD drive, IDE/SATA controllers and tested the DVD drive in another machine [it's OK], any help with fixing this problem would be appreciated.

| Re: DVD problem It may be a problem.Drivers written for Windows Vista with service pack 1 would obviously be different from those written for Windows XP with service pack 3.Please provide the complete and accurate model number of the optical drive.

| Re: DVD problem Vista does not have a repair install. It has an In Place Upgrade (which has to be run from the desktop). If you are using an old style 40-wire/40-pin IDE cable that may be your problem. The higher frequencies on newer machines create too much cross-talk and an 80-wire/40-pin cable is needed (the extra wires ground out the cross-talk).
