I'm not getting any particular errors, but PowerDVD either starts to play a
disc and stops (as if the stop button were pressed) for one second... or it
plays the disc, but doesn't respond when you click on menu items.  WinDVD
does the same things.

I am stumped.  The last thing I did was switch out my HP7200i CDRW with a
Plextor 12/10/32A CDRW.  I'll take guesses.. Anybody?

Thanks,
